CIC’s Presidential Vocation and Institutional Mission program is designed for senior administrators—and their spouses or partners—who are considering whether to seek a presidency. The program helps participants clarify their calling to serve, explore the rich diversity of colleges and university missions with an eye towards the type of mission that best aligns with the unique attributes they bring, and considers how this alignment fosters effective presidential leadership. Over one third of past participants have gone on to serve in presidencies, and many others have advanced in meaningful ways in their own college/university or at another institution. Participants will learn about the structure of the year-long program and the nomination process for the 2024–2025 cohort.
