Leadership Tech cohort five began its journey on Friday, Feb. 19, with a virtual orientation session.
Dr. Robin E. Bowen, Arkansas Tech University president, and Dr. Mary B. Gunter, chief of staff in the ATU Office of the President and chair of the Leadership Tech governing council, welcomed 28 ATU faculty and staff to the program.
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 Leadership Tech cohort five will participate in a two-year program beginning in fall 2021 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.
