Course Information

Description

***ONLY OFFERED FOR OEL STUDENTS*** In this course, we will explore leadership, governance, and administration in colleges and universities through a practice of critical reflection. Together, we will examine the eco-system of higher education— internal leadership roles, governance structures and administrative practices, and external public and private influences that impact our work. We will then consider how effective leaders identify and implement strategic priorities, foster innovation, lead change and respond to crises. This course assumes that students have diverse leadership experiences, and they will be encouraged to draw upon these experiences to investigate, question and/or challenge the ideas presented in readings and class activities. Through small and large-group discussions, written assignments, discussions with guest speakers, simulations, case studies, and presentations, students will strengthen their leadership skills as they reflect upon their strengths and opportunities for growth.
