Creating Innovative Cultures in Academic Units

Faculty serve as educators, mentors, colleagues and leaders who set the tone and establish a local culture that impacts the ability to thrive and advance scholarship in academic units. If intentional, this culture can be one that leads to collaborations and innovative approaches that increase success for all groups across schools and departments. In this workshop, participants will discuss strategies and practices that highlight the ways that diverse teams benefit innovative approaches. They will also discuss how improving departmental culture can lead to greater engagement in academic units.

Moderators: Sherilynn Black, Associate Vice Provost for Faculty Advancement; Kimberly Hewitt, Vice President for Institutional Equity
