Leading Academic Transformation
Leading Academic Transformation (LAT) is a community of practice* for senior campus leaders who advance their institution's teaching, learning, and student success mission. Our goal is to build capacity to inspire and lead academic transformation. Today success in academic transformation depends on a cohort of campus leadership committed to leveraging technology and best pedagogical practices to attain strategic goals. This community is built on the premise that collaborative innovation** and generative networks are indispensable in leading academic transformation.
What's Involved?
It's free to join this community. You will have rich opportunities to exchange ideas, examine questions, explore successes and challenges, co-create resources, and understand the complexities of managing and leading change through an innovation lens with a cohort of your peers.
