OSU faculty to take part in academic leadership program

Posted on | July 15, 2009 | 2,158 views |

Five Ohio State faculty members will participate in an annual signature program sponsored by the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC), a consortium of Big Ten institutions and the University of Chicago.

Angelo Mariotti, professor and chair of the Division of Periodontics in the College of Dentistry; Angela Brintlinger, associate professor in the Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Literatures; Anne McCoy, professor in the Department of Chemistry; Rebecca McCauley, professor in the Department of Speech and Hearing Science; and Julianne Serovich, professor and chair of the Department of Human Development and Family Science, have been named as fellows in the CIC’s Academic Leadership Program, now in its 20th year.

The ALP provides faculty fellows with a big-picture view of issues, roles and responsibilities for current and potential administrators across the CIC universities.
The program hosts three, two-day seminars for all fellows on topics such as human resources, budgets and strategic planning for the university of the future. In addition, the individual universities determine and create their own internal program for their fellows that runs in parallel, and complements, the seminar series.

Ohio State’s fellows meet with deans and other senior administrators to glean a better sense about the university’s strategic planning processes as well as day-to-day activities. After completing the program, fellows often wind up in new or expanded administrative roles. Occasionally, however, the CIC-ALP experience helps a fellow decide against pursuing administrative roles; gaining such an insight also is a valuable outcome.

Executive Vice President and Provost Joe Alutto sponsors Ohio State’s fellows’ participation in the program, and Susan Williams, vice provost for academic policy and faculty resources, is Ohio State’s liaison for the CIC-ALP.

“The Office of Academic Affairs is planning a full schedule of meetings and other opportunities to deepen our fellows’ understanding of the range of issues and situations facing administrators on the Columbus and regional campuses. CIC-ALP is one of several leadership programs that the central administration is either developing or expanding this year, and I am looking forward to working with our fellows,” Williams said.
