Initiative for Inclusive Leadership

Launched in 2019, San Diego State University’s faculty leadership development initiative seeks to “build on the leadership potential that already exists within the CSU” and “create a pipeline of diverse administrative leaders who are capable of advocating for the core mission of the California State University.”

Participants will
--Develop a future vision of themselves as university academic leaders and a plan for their development
--Identify the strengths and assets--including cultural assets--they bring to leadership as diverse, equity-minded, and inclusion-minded faculty members
--Build relationships with current and emerging CSU leaders 
--Acquire knowledge and skills relevant to mid-level leadership positions including department chair and associate dean
--Become familiar with BIPOC-centered theories of institutional change and leadership 

Funded by the SDSU President’s Budget Advisory Committee, the initiative supports atwo-day faculty leadership institute (held annually), support for institute alum to attend regional and national leadership development events, and the Faculty Futures Lab podcast.
