Leadership Academy
(formerly Extension Administrative Leadership Program)
The Leadership Academy Vision
The Leadership Academy is a model leadership program whose graduates emerge with a multidimensional perspective and competence needed to meet the challenges of a constantly changing environment, to think strategically, and to act collaboratively as they serve the educational needs of Wisconsin residents.
The Program
Through a series of eight, three-day sessions over the course of two years, participants will experience a variety of learning activities related to major policy, management and leadership issues facing outreach and higher education in Wisconsin. Participants will be responsible for completing readings, assignments and other projects that demonstrate their leadership capabilities. Academy members will participate in leadership assessment and leadership skill-building activities, give presentations on major leadership theorists and choose to participate in a mentoring program.
