Should I Attend?
ELMI is geared to senior level leaders engaged in leadership and management at higher education institutions. ELMI participants are should be managing others, dealing with complex projects, and engaging in problem-solving and planning for their institution. During ELMI, they are expected to contribute to their own and others learning through sharing knowledge, demonstrating a willingness to learn new approaches and concepts, and immersing themselves in the ELMI experience.
What Will I Learn?
The ELMI small group experience of 32 participants enables a hands-on, interactive experience for the seasoned professional. High-level program content is delivered through lecture, team problem-solving, group exercises, and connecting with peers on key issues and trends facing campuses today. The curriculum includes: components on higher education hot topics; navigating campus culture; student life initiatives; organizational and personal effectiveness; opportunities to explore individual growth; and special learning opportunities from experienced leaders in business management.
