This annual leadership development program includes activities and discussions to build awareness and effectiveness in the context of academic leadership. Selected Duke faculty engage with peers across the Atlantic Coast Conference on issues and trends in higher education.
Operating on a calendar-year basis, this leadership development opportunity is part of Duke Faculty Advancement’s portfolio of programs to support faculty and academic leaders. Deans are invited to nominate faculty members who hold administrative leadership positions.
Selected faculty members from all ACC institutions participate in three multi-day in-person sessions at different universities. On their home campuses, ACC Fellows meet with key leaders and administrators who oversee academic affairs, student life, budgeting and financial planning, research, admissions, development and human resources, among others.
