Thirty members of the faculty and staff at Arkansas Tech University have been selected for participation in the fourth cohort of Leadership Tech, a program designed to cultivate leaders from within the ATU faculty and staff on the Russellville and Ozark campuses.
The mission of Leadership Tech is “to develop and enhance the leadership knowledge, skills and abilities of all individuals as well as the collective leadership capacity of the university in order to achieve unparalleled excellence in serving our students, community supporters and institutional family.”
Members of the Leadership Tech cohort will participate in a two-year program beginning in fall 2019 that will provide them with an opportunity to develop their leadership acumen and learn more about various elements of the university during year one and engage in a collaborative project to benefit Arkansas Tech during year two.
“Leadership Tech is a valuable asset as part of our institutional focus on professional development among our human core,” said Dr. Robin E. Bowen, ATU president. “I am excited to observe the continued growth and evolution of this program during the 2019-20 academic year.”
