The CIC, an academic consortium of Big Ten universities and the University of Chicago, established the Academic Leadership Program in 1989 to help selected faculty on its member campuses to develop their leadership and managerial skills. Each year on a rotating basis, CIC member institutions host a series of three two-day seminars on such topics as leadership and human resources, long-range planning and budgeting, and the future of research universities.

This year’s fellows will attend seminars at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the University of Minnesota and The Ohio State University. Assistant Vice Provost Glenda Haskell is the program’s institutional liaison for U-M.
