The Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor has selected David Holding and Sam Wortman, associate professors in agronomy and horticulture, among a cohort of 24 faculty for the third year of the Faculty Leadership in Academia: From Inspiration to Reality program.
FLAIR provides professional development for university faculty who are considering a leadership role or are in their first leadership position and considering continuing on a leadership path.
Programming includes a series of workshops in the spring, a required summer reading list, and another series of workshops in the fall. Topics focus on leadership as it relates to the inspirations, realities, and opportunities within and outside of academic administration. Participants have the opportunity to meet with the Chancellor and participate in panel discussions featuring university faculty in leadership roles both inside and outside the traditional academic leadership structure. They also participate in a Leading With Strengths workshop focused on developing their personal leadership style based on their Clifton Strengths. There are ample opportunities for participants to network with one another, including through co-leading presentations on summer reading choices and through summer informal gatherings.
