Using Data To Inform Decision-Making: A Focus On Department & Program Enrollments, Craig D. Hlavac
Using Data To Inform Decision-Making: A Focus On Department & Program Enrollments, Craig D. Hlavac
Academic Chairpersons Conference Proceedings
Department chairs are frequently required to make decisions on behalf of their department. Most significant decisions require input from department stakeholders (e.g. faculty, staff, students) yet the responsibility for guiding this process – including gathering and presenting relevant data – generally resides with the chairperson. Determining what data is needed for each situation can be challenging, especially when considering enrollments. This session will provide current and prospective chairpersons with practical suggestions for seeking relevant data points to assess and guide department initiatives with a specific focus on enrollments. Simple, measurable recruitment and retention strategies will also be discussed. Participants will …

How can department chairs lead most effectively in this altered landscape of higher education? What has really changed, and what has remained relatively untouched by recent events? In this workshop, participants will explore how to plan and guide their programs when the only thing they …

Calculating The Pace Of Change During The Covid Era, Jill Channing
Academic Chairpersons Conference Proceedings
The pandemic has caused ongoing economic, health, and educational challenges over the past two years. At the beginning of the pandemic, leaders were most concerned about immediate issues such as distance learning and safety for faculty, staff, and students. Now that institutions have returned to in-person learning, leaders must move forward with strategic planning and action with pandemic issues still playing significant roles in decision-making. During this session, participants will learn and discuss approaches for managing the pace of change and emotionally intelligent strategic planning during this challenging historical period.

The Challenges And Rewards Of Co-Chairing A Department: Lessons Learned From Leaders In The Middle, Laura Trujillo-Jenks, Gina Anderson
Academic Chairpersons Conference Proceedings
Newly appointed Department Chairs are often on their own to learn “on the job” the knowledge and skills they will need to succeed. One way to mitigate the challenges of this high-stakes approach is to identify a second leader who can serve in the role of mentor, coach or Co-Chair alongside the new Chair. The Co-Chair may be a leader who has served as a Department Chair in the past and/or who is serving in another middle-management position such as a Chair from a different department, Director, or Associate Dean. During a time of tremendous change and uncertainty, the Co-Chair …

Recommendations for the specific context of Olivet Nazarene University will be made based on the findings of the included research.
Recent Empirical Evidence On The Perceived Impact Of Covid 19 On Faculty And Students From 391 Faculty From 37 Cccu And Cic Institutions June-September 2021, Don Daake
Scholar Week 2016 - present
The presentation provides very recent data on the impact of COVID 19 from 391 Professors from 37 CCCU or CIC institutions.
