CIC’s New Presidents Program provides the need-to-know tools and wise counsel that keep a young presidency on a smooth course. The agenda focuses on the practical needs and resources to help participants avoid early pitfalls while capitalizing on the opportunities that the first year represents. Annually refreshed, topics commonly include innovative and strategic leadership, financial fundamentals and strategies, creating an engaged and inclusive environment, enrollment and marketing, board relations, institutional advancement, perspectives on critical leadership issues, and sharing reflections. Ample opportunities for informal conversations allow participants to get to know each other as well as the more seasoned presidents, who serve as faculty mentors, to build a network of peers.
