New deans track The majority of deans come to that position from the faculty.
They are committed to the values of academe, to the scholarly-teaching enterprise. They are committed to serving well the faculty, the students, and the institution. Very quickly they learn they are expected to be experts on everything from budgeting, program and curriculum design, the faculty reward system, and the latest research on student learning and development to team building, the change process, assessment, and the resolution of moral dilemmas. Working with seasoned practitioners, new deans will grapple with these leadership problems common to deans. Institutional teams track Each team will come to Minnowbrook ready to work on an institutional project that is academically focused and related directly to institutional priorities.
