Our first cohort of 20 academic professional employees from across the University of Illinois System will conclude the Academic Professional Leadership Program in June. It has been a highly rewarding program with dynamic speakers, engaging and interactive leadership activities, facility tours, state legislative education, relevant literature reviews, system-wide networking, and a mentor program.
I am pleased to share that we will continue this program with a second cohort to begin in October. Candidates for the program must be in mid-career level positions and possess the desire and passion to contribute to the overall success of their respective university as well as the system. To view program goals, curriculum, and the nomination/application process, please see the System Human Resources website at https://www.hr.uillinois.edu/system_office_employees/APLP.
Please share this information with your colleagues and consider nominating an academic professional for this leadership program. Nominations are due no later than Friday, May 3, 2019.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact Jackie Billhymer, HR Coordinator at jnhunter@uillinois.edu or 217.333.2538.
