Cohort of new fellows chosen for ASU-hosted Academy for Innovative Higher Education Leadership
![](/sites/default/files/styles/block_image_16_9_lge/public/untitled_0.png?itok=lv2Q7jN2)
Twenty-nine senior leaders from more than two dozen universities, including Oregon State, Stanford, the University of Central Florida, Notre Dame, and Wake Forest have been selected as fellows in the fourth cohort of the Academy for Innovative Higher Education Leadership, co-hosted by Arizona State University and Georgetown University.
The eight-month program, which begins Nov. 2 and takes place at Georgetown and ASU, focuses on preparing the fellows to lead organizational change at colleges and universities.
During four intensive sessions in the District of Columbia and Tempe, Arizona, fellows at the academy will be introduced to the latest thinking and research about change leadership, teaching and learning in a digital age, external challenges facing higher education and the financial sustainability of institutions.
Participants also will apply the principles of “design thinking” to re-imagine the future of higher education, and will focus on a real-world project during the program. A mix of seminars, hands-on workshops, design sessions and fireside chats with leading thinkers from various industries will help the fellows prepare for leading innovation at their own institutions.
Academy faculty members represent a cross-section of higher education scholars and leaders from other sectors, such as health care and the military, that are facing similar challenges.
