To develop the leadership
abilities of current and future leaders within higher education and
to foster a civic spirit so that their institutions can better address
the changing academic and community leadership needs in the mid-Atlantic
region.
More broadly, the
Mid-Atlantic Leadership Development initiative aims to identify and
develop leaders from various levels both in and outside the academy
who possess the knowledge, skills, competencies, ethics, values, and
wisdom required to deal effectively with the current and future challenges
confronting higher education and the public in the mid-Atlantic region;
to foster a culture within each institution that recognizes a civic
purpose of higher education and develops socially-conscious leaders;
and to develop improved regional inter-institutional collaboration.
