CIC is offering its third annual series of spring workshops for department/division chairs to assist independent colleges and universities in strengthening the leadership at the department level. These workshops are designed to serve both experienced as well as new chairs, and will focus on the distinctive challenges of department leadership in small and mid-sized, private colleges and universities. They will address issues such as:

• Increasing enrollment
• Retaining students
• Having difficult conversations about personnel issues
• Legal issues
• Working effectively with the chief academic officer

Who Should Attend? Campuses are encouraged to send several department chairs to the workshop so they may support one another in instituting change upon return to their college or university. Chief academic officers, deans, and associate deans who work closely with chairs would also find the program beneficial and are welcome to attend.
