While chairs may understand the faculty’s world, typically they are unfamiliar with the dean’s environment. Through this 60-minute online seminar, chairs will gain understanding for their dean, the dean’s political environment, and agenda. As a result, chairs will be better positioned to gain the support of their dean by planning programs and initiatives that advance their departments, as well as their dean’s agenda. Learn strategies and awareness of the institution’s bureaucratic management and how to navigate both to get the support their departments need.

Additional Detail
The most important person in the chair’s professional universe is the dean. The dean’s office provides access to the resources, data, and guidance necessary for the welfare of academic departments.
What do chairs need to know about deans so that they can maximize the benefits of their relationship? How can the dean navigate the bureaucratic management systems through which many colleges and universities are managed?
Don Chu, both a former chair and dean, provides guidance needed by academic managers to better understand the position of department and college leaders, and how they may work together to further their academic missions.
