Leadership Development

Goals of the Office 

In a new era for the U of A, the University of Alberta for Tomorrow requires that university leaders have the opportunity to collaboratively discover best practices, learn from one another, and invest time in their personal and institutional impact. To that end, we offer information sessions, workshops and collaborative learning opportunities for vice-provosts, deans, vice-deans, chairs and chair-like positions in non-departmentalized faculties.

We also work with academic leaders to provide a suite of in-unit, facilitated sessions that address their current leadership challenges. 

Stepping into a leadership role is both an institutional and personal commitment. People who take on these roles have the opportunity to grow as people and to expand their own capacities as leaders. We offer opportunities for networking, values exploration and personal growth for people who have stepped into these roles. 

UAcademy

UAcademy is an internal leadership training program for University of Alberta senior and emerging leaders. This new executive education program offers talent development with applied learning.

UAcademy offers a unique and unifying education. Spearheaded by the Office of the Provost, in collaboration with Human Resources and developed by the Alberta School of Business, UAcademy was created to help senior leaders find collaboration across the university and turn the university’s challenges into a strategic transformation. The program is designed to be complementary to the university’s training and development programs, setting the stage for scalable and consistent focus on leading one’s self, teams and the U of A as a whole to higher levels of effectiveness and sustainability.
