In an era marked by rapid change and increasing demands on higher education, developing faculty and staff is not a luxury; it is a strategic necessity. In this session, participants will explore the critical importance of talent development as a driver of institutional health, student success, and mission alignment. Through practical examples and compelling stories, participants will examine how colleges can build intentional, integrated (and affordable) approaches to professional growth, leadership development, and cross-functional collaboration. Participants will discuss promising practices, challenges, and consider how academic and student success leaders can partner to build a culture of continuous learning and shared ownership for institutional outcomes.
