Introduction

Overview

 The Big Ten Academic Alliance Deans Leadership Program (DLP) is designed specifically for deans who have been appointed to their roles within the past 36 months and focuses on critical issues that occur in the initial months and years of the dean’s role.

Providing a unique opportunity to learn from, and with, colleagues who are at a similar stage in their leadership journey, intensive in-person and virtual engagement sessions engage participants in addressing the various questions and situations that both confront and confound them, while working towards solutions that are beneficial for their college, colleagues, and themselves personally.
