Kevin Dettmar, author of How to Chair a Department, has served as department chair at several colleges and universities over many years. Join this 75-minute, candid discussion of the department chair’s role on campus, including the educational and leadership values Kevin believes chairs are poised to advance. This seminar will feature Kevin’s perspective on the role of department chair, while also offering program participants the chance to pose their own questions in turn–to him and to one another.
In this session, you will learn:
- A veteran chair’s take on the challenges and opportunities of the role.
- Wisdom about such hot issues as conflict, equity, and money.
- A new way of thinking about “service.”
- A holistic view of leadership from the person who wrote the book–literally.
