TO:CALS Faculty


FROM:Shane Burgess, Dean, CALS


SUBJECT:Leadership and Professional Development Opportunity for CALS Faculty

Since joining the CALS I have met many outstanding people and become 
acquainted with as many exciting projects. One such project is the 
Academic Leadership Institute (ALI) offered by the Provost's Office. The 
ALI program is dedicated to building leadership capacity among UA 
faculty and professionals.

The ALI program's success has motivated UA's Human Resources Division to 
develop a leadership program for mid-career faculty who would not be 
selected for the ALI's program but are interested in professional 
development. Our own Norton School Director and ALI Advisory Board 
member, Dr Soyeon Shim, is working closely with HR to offer this 
additional professional development program and she has included the 
most relevant business and development components of the ALI into this 
new initiative.

The new program will take place this fall and it will include the 
following components:

1)360-degree individual assessment and feedback.

2)Five 90 minutes sessions on the following topics:

obusiness communication

ochange management

ocoaching and conflict resolution

operformance documentation

o911 management

3)Six online modules to be completed over a 3-month period

4)Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

Soyeon, and the HR Division, invite CALS faculty to participate in this 
new program. The program will be held on-site in Tucson and requires 20 
faculty members.

For CALS to prosper, particularly during these challenging times, we 
need leadership skills and innovative thinking. I encourage all CALS 
faculty interested in professional development to apply and would be 
thrilled if a large number of these 20 people in the first cohort were 
from CALS.
