Faculty Appointments and Advancement

Administrator Development

Each year, Faculty Appointments and Advancement (FAA) facilitates meetings and workshops for all academic administrators to assist with developing the capabilities needed for effective leadership in the complex environment of higher education, particularly on an urban campus. The various efforts to assist deans and chairs in meeting the demands of their roles also provides participants with an opportunity to get to know and interact with others on campus who serve in similar capacities. Individual consultation on topics of interest or concern to deans and chairs also is available.

We have already held orientation meetings in Fall 2008 with new deans and chairs to provide them with information about critical policies and procedures and to introduce them to key administrative personnel at IUPUI. Now we are looking forward to providing more opportunities for all academic administrators with a series of workshops to be announced.

Leadership and Management Series

FAA is working on creating a series of workshops to address the wide range of issues and concerns central to pursuing the University’s various missions and responsibilities. Our goal is to begin an ongoing conversation about best practices and shared visions for the common responsibilities members of the IUPUI academic community face. Most of the topics will touch on issues and values common to all IUPUI faculty, administrators, and staff even if some seem more immediately relevant than others.

We recalled our announcement of the 2008-2009 Leadership and Management Series for now. We are re-viewing the best way to conduct the workshops in order to maximize their usefulness for your schools. We apologize for any inconvenience our previous announcement may have caused.
