Subject: 2020-2021 Cohort – Inclusive Leadership Cohort Certificate Program
Date: Jun 04, 2020

The Inclusive Leadership Cohort Certificate (ILCC) program is strategically centered on advancing the University's core values. Leveraging the impact of the Future Leader Workshop Series and complementing the HSI Fellows Program, the ILCC program offers an opportunity to: explore and articulate strategies to grow as a leader committed to diversity, inclusion, and equity; identify opportunities for co-creating actionable next steps as inclusive leaders; and expand their networks across the University of Arizona. The ILCC program seeks to diversify the pipeline of emerging University leaders to include faculty and staff from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds.

The ILCC is a component of the UA Inclusive Leadership Program (ILP). The ILP advances the University mission through:

  • Building the next generation of leaders.
  • Retaining top-performing faculty and staff by deepening their engagement and connection to the University.
  • Leveraging our HSI identity to advance leadership efforts in diversity and inclusion.
  • Strengthening interdisciplinary collaborations between faculty and staff in strategic areas such as student enrollment and retention.
  • Fostering mentoring networks to meet needs of our diverse faculty and staff.
