Dean and Chair Resources

Dean and Department Chair resources provide valuable support and guidance to academic leaders in universities. Deans often have access to comprehensive resources that assist them in strategic planning, budget management, and personnel development within their respective schools or colleges. These resources can include data analysis tools, professional development workshops, and networking opportunities, empowering deans and department chairs to make informed decisions and foster a positive academic environment.

Perspectives on Global Issues Workshop

A new faculty professional development initiative has been created. It is entitled “Perspectives on Global Issues Workshop.” One teaching faculty from each degree-granting college will be selected to participate in an active-learning, globally-focused, inter-cultural, academic-practitioner workshop. The purpose of the workshop is to expand faculty understanding of, and engagement in, broad topical policy debates and discussions occurring in the world today, thereby providing them with an additional foundation for bringing these themes back to the campuses of KSU and extending the engagement to our students and surrounding communities.
