ALCT: Alaska
Academic Leadership in Challenging Times – Alaska Cohort
Greetings and welcome to the Academic Leadership in Challenging Times program of the National Center for Professional and Research Ethics (NCPRE). Our goal is to support your growth as an academic leader. The program will be offered through on-line group Zoom sessions augmented by outside readings and your reflections and analyses.
Your cohort meetings will be on Thursdays from 10:00-11:30 am AKT, 1:00-2:30 pm CT.
You are in a cohort with colleagues from the University of Alaska, tailored to your interests, and supported by resources in the NCPRE online Leadership Collection. This is a pilot program, and will be shaped as we go in response to your feedback and interests. We will conduct a small set of individual online meetings to learn more about your environment and any special concerns. If you feel strongly that your circumstances are ones we should understand, please alert your Cohort Coordinator, Sarah Mustered.
NCPRE creates and shares resources to support better ethical and leadership practices in academic and other professional contexts. Leadership—and particularly ethical leadership—is central to creating a culture that establishes healthy and productive professional interactions. We equip you with evidence-based tools to support intentional leadership development and institutional integrity. The members of our Excellence in Academic Leadership Program group are provided here.
Please feel free to contact Sarah Mustered, the Cohort Coordinator for this program, if you have any questions: mustered@illinois.edu
