Background

This annual spring conference responds to the needs of faculty in leadership roles, department chairs, program coordinators, committee chairs, and those who aspire for a leadership position. The Schwab Leadership Conference envisions campus leaders as not simply managers but also as innovators in areas of curriculum, student learning, and college-community relationships. Schwab explores contemporary leadership issues while developing skills and abilities in current or aspiring leaders at all levels. The Conference defines leadership broadly and believes that community college professionals can lead in any role – as teachers, community activists, advisors – and in all aspects of the community’s life.

Conference Details

The Schwab Leadership Conference features a nationally-recognized speaker as keynote and interactive breakout workshops on leadership-related topics. These informal conversations with experts and colleagues from across the state are designed to give participants new perspectives and a local network within which the conversation can continue. Participants leave the conference with enhanced theoretical knowledge and practical advice. This Conference is open to all members of the CSCU.
