2019 CSC Academic Leadership Workshop
The Cottrell Scholars Collaborative (CSC) Academic Leadership Team (ALT) is staging the 4th Academic Leadership Workshop on February 26 to February 28 in Washington, DC. This workshop will offer practical advice and tools to help participants enter into academic leadership roles such as a Research Center Director, Department Head or Dean. Among the unique components are a 360-degree analysis and engagement with existing academic leaders who started their careers in chemistry, physics or astronomy. As a chair, we are sure that you can appreciate the value of deliberate and focused training for leadership positions prior to starting them. We are therefore writing to ask you to identify and encourage one of the future leaders in your department to apply to the 2019 ALT Workshop.
For details about the workshop and a link to the application, please go to:
