VCU Leadership Development Program
The Virginia Commonwealth University Leadership Development Program is a 10-month program designed to enhance the knowledge, skills and experience of current and emerging leaders at VCU who represent the academic and administrative units of the university and the VCU Medical Center.
During this program, participants learn about VCU’s structure and leadership, address both local and national issues in higher education, examine their own leadership strengths and challenges, meet with a mentor from senior administration, and immerse themselves in team projects for the benefit of the university.
The VCU Leadership Development Program focuses on:
- Knowledge about the university, its mission and vision
- Knowledge about higher education issues from national and state perspectives
- Skills in leading others engaged in the delivery of quality services and programs
- Commitment to sustaining an organizational climate at the university that is focused on quality, responsiveness and inclusion
The VCU Leadership Development Program has been extremely successful since its inauguration in 2001. Since its inception, more than 150 faculty and administrators have participated in the program.
Diane Simon, Ph.D., provides leadership and curriculum development for the program.
