This prestigious leadership program is highly respected within the University of Illinois system. The program involves a selection process and an application fee of $1,000. Applications are now open through October 23 for the Spring 2027 program.
Curriculum
The curriculum consists of six integrated components. Topics included in each of the components include:
- University Organization
- Leadership and Academic Theory
- University Operations
- Management
- External Relations
- Professional Development
The sessions will be supplemented by three additional activities:
- Participants will complete two development assessments and receive a minimum of two coaching sessions by a certified facilitator.
- A reading program will offer insights into current literature related to the program topics. Reviews of the literature will be integrated throughout the twelve-month curriculum.
- A mentoring program will be offered to academy members. Mentoring can offer insights into the University operation, its formal and informal culture. Mentors can also be good sounding boards to test ideas, discuss issues and career goals. The mentoring program will be established and supported by the academy, but mentor meetings will occur outside of the formal conference sessions.
