DEO Leadership Program
Co-sponsored by the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost and University Human Resources
The DEO Leadership Program is designed for departmental executive officers in their first two years of service in their leadership roles. The program is designed to be complementary to collegiate support for DEOs, as well as existing UI programs (e.g., BTAA Department Executive Officers and BTAA Academic Leadership Program). Competency-based content will be delivered via small cohorts and tailored to individual needs and goals. The program will include topics such as:
- Making the Transition to Expanded Academic Leadership Roles
- Managing Departmental Resources
- Leadership Communication: Skills and Resources
- Leading and Developing People
- Introduction to Data and Sources of Information
