Faculty Leadership Program
Mission Statement: The Faculty Leadership Program (FLP) offers tenured and tenure track faculty a year-long series of practical leadership training and networking opportunities with the broader university community. Participants will be equipped with the tools and knowledge required to lead effectively and contribute to the growth and development of APSU.
The Faculty Leadership Program recognizes the importance of developing relevant leadership
skills for faculty at Austin Peay State University. The Faculty Leadership Program
fosters the development of a more interconnected, knowledgeable, and adaptable campus
community capable of responding quickly and collaboratively to challenges and opportunities.
The Faculty Leadership Program offers an opportunity for selected faculty to acquire a more comprehensive awareness of university operations, apply leadership skills to their various roles on campus, interact interpersonally with leaders on campus, and identify a worthy project or initiative to tackle as a team. The program fosters an exploratory team environment that requires participants to relegate all other campus responsibilities to non-program hours.
Accepted applicants meet half-days each week for both semesters (Fall and Spring) as part of a campus-led immersion program that assists participants in developing a collaborative project to positively impact the institution and student success, in addition to participating in mentoring conducted by university leaders.
