During the 2015–2016 Senior Leadership Academy, held in Baltimore, Maryland, November 6–8, 2015, Daniel Helwig of
Lebanon Valley College (PA), Stefanie Niles of Dickinson College, and Beth Schwartz of
Heidelberg University (OH) discussed “The Search Experience.”
CIC in March announced 30 participants selected as members of the 2016–2017 Senior Leadership Academy (SLA). The year-long program prepares mid-level administrators from all divisions for vice presidencies at colleges and universities.
The program includes several components. The opening seminar on November 4–6, 2016, will coincide with CIC’s upcoming Institute for Chief Academic Officers in New Orleans, Louisiana, and the closing seminar will take place in Washington, DC, June 22–24, 2017. Between the seminars, participants will engage in readings and webinars, receive structured mentorship guidance, and gather in smaller groups by region or topics of mutual interest. Importantly, they will create and execute a Professional Experiential Plan designed to enhance their professional development so that they are ready to assume all responsibilities in a vice president’s portfolio.
“The Senior Leadership Academy was an excellent investment of time and resources. It’s rare to get this type of focused, intentional professional development that addresses broad overarching topics in higher education plus targeted individual areas for growth and learning,” remarked Mimi Steadman, associate vice president of institutional effectiveness at
Daemen College (NY) and participant in the 2015–2016 SLA.
SLA is jointly sponsored by CIC and the American Academic Leadership Institute (AALI). Tom Kepple, president of AALI and president emeritus of
Juniata College (PA), is the program director. For more information, visit

Participants explored a diverse range of topics during the 2015–2016 Academy’s opening session.
