Prospective class members are now being solicited for the newly introduced CSN Leadership Academy. The personal and professional enrichment program is open to all classified employees, administrative faculty, adjunct and full-time teaching faculty. It utilizes the well-regarded 7 Habits of Highly Effective People model of principle-based leadership, and concentrates on proactivity, strengthening time management, ethical decision-making, and communication competency.
Interested individuals are asked to complete the application online. At this point, the program has been budgeted for 90 participants (and a three-semester delivery cycle) and spots will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. So apply as soon as possible.
Unless otherwise indicated on the application, the applicant will be considered for the Spring (January-May 2020) program cycle. If a large volume of interest exists, all accepted prospects beyond the 30-person class limit will be placed on a wait list. Those wait-listed will be informed of their acceptance into the Academy, and given the opportunity to participate in the next academic year, space permitting.
If at the time of application, the individual expresses a preference to be included in the fall 2020 or spring 2021 sessions, they will have priority placement. Next, openings will be filled through the Academy Wait List.
Dr. Zaragoza wishes this opportunity to be available to all who apply, and can be accommodated. While supervisory approval is required, supervisors are encouraged to offer their support to applicants.
The Review Panel will convene in November. Notification of acceptance, and cohort placement, will be confirmed by Thanksgiving.
As shared in prior correspondence, the Academy dates are as follows:
- January 31
- February 21
