The Advancing Minority Women's Leadership in Higher Education Project within OWHE identifies issues, challenges, and strategies related to leadership and career advancement for women of color. It identifies and prepares senior faculty and administrators seeking to strengthen higher education through leadership development. Leadership Development Service targets individuals at the level of department chair, director, and above who are interested in being considered for leadership development opportunities. Please complete Part I of the OWHE Electronic Information Request and Application Form . National Forums play an important role in the continuing identification and promotion of women for senior-level positions, especially presidencies.
Forums are invitational and are held twice each year.
Approximately 200 women of the over 1,000 who have attended a Forum have subsequently become college or university presidents. The agenda of our most recent forum is also available online . These workshops seek to support the development of the chair as an academic leader within the department and within the institution as a whole . OMHE also offers the Leadership Forum to increase the numbers of minorities occupying top leadership positions in higher education. The Center for Creative Leadership offers a variety of leadership programs, including one designed for women.
