The strength of any organization can be measured by the capacity of its members to be leaders at many levels. WMU offers faculty and university professional staff the opportunity to develop their leadership skills through the Academic Leadership Academy. The academy is a year-long learning community in which participants and facilitators meet weekly to explore literature on leadership. Discussions include specific situations where leadership skills are used, developed and implemented. At the end of the year participants share what they have learned in a poster.
