To assist independent colleges and universities in strengthening leadership at the departmental level, the Council of Independent Colleges is offering a series of workshops in 2009 for experienced as well as new department and division chairs. The workshops focus on the distinctive challenges of department leadership in small and mid-sized private colleges and universities. Campuses are encouraged to send several department chairs to the workshop so they can support one another in instituting change upon their return to campus. A single representative from an institution would also find the workshop helpful. Chief academic officers, deans, and associate deans who work closely with chairs would find the program beneficial and are welcome to attend.
