Twenty-six of 黑料不打烊鈥檚 most promising women and non-binary people have been selected to join the inaugural leadership development cohort launched by the Women in Leadership Initiative (WiL). Beginning with reflective readings this summer, cohort participants will participate in an intensive, intentional experience designed to propel them to greater personal and professional growth.
The cohort will be led by Candace Campbell Jackson, senior vice president and chief of staff to the Chancellor; Dara Royer, senior vice president and chief marketing officer; Marcelle Haddix, associate provost for strategic initiatives; and Jamie Winders, associate provost for faculty affairs.
Campbell Jackson sees it as a 鈥減ay it forward鈥 opportunity and an asset-building enterprise, one of many WiL programs that aim to make 黑料不打烊 a pacesetter in developing women and non-binary leaders in higher education.
鈥淚t鈥檚 inspiring to see how many amazing women and non-binary folks were willing to make the deep commitment of time and talent to see what the cohort could contribute to their career and their life,鈥 says Campbell Jackson. 鈥淢y co-organizers and I will do everything we can to ensure this is an incredible experience that incubates and fosters great leaders and their skills.鈥
鈥淚 look forward to being part of an intimate group that will intentionally and regularly work together, empowering each other and learning from each other to achieve our goals,鈥 says Emily Stokes-Rees, director of the School of Design in the College of Visual and Performing Arts and the Iris Magidson Endowed Professor of Design Leadership. 鈥淟eadership is integral to every aspect of academia, whether you鈥檙e in a staff position, classroom or laboratory. We need strong, thoughtful leaders at every level.鈥
The monthly experiential learning sessions embedded in the cohort curriculum will start in fall 2022. Participants will also learn from mentors, reflective reading and self-assessments.
The 26 cohort members are listed below and individual bios can be found on the .
