ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ

The Office of Faculty Affairs is pleased to welcome the 2026-27 Faculty Leadership Institute (FLI)cohort. This program has supported and connected current and emerging faculty leaders across ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ since 2013.

The FLI offers cohort participants the opportunity to engage with peers and campus leaders in targeted discussions regarding leadership from a variety of position perspectives and to build leadership skills. Through panel discussions with department chairs, associate deans, deans and vice provosts, fellows gain a deeper understanding of leadership across the Boulder campus while building connections across disciplines.

The program also includes professional development such as the Clifton Strengths self-assessment and workshops grounded in the fuller Getting Things Done, Crucial Accountability and The Speed of Trust trainings offered by the Organizational and Employee Development team of campus Human Resources. These elements support faculty participants in self-reflection as current and emerging leaders, and in building leadership strengths. By investing in emerging faculty leaders, FLI continues to foster a strong network of colleagues who contribute to the success of their departments, disciplines and ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ.
