Learn more about the Academic Leadership Academy

The Academic Leadership Academy (ALA) was established to provide leadership training to faculty and academic staff who often lack opportunities for leadership development and mentoring prior to assuming formal or informal leadership roles. By participating in the one-year program, participants, known as ALA Fellows, build on their emerging leadership skills by applying what they learn to their current roles or a leadership project of their choice.

Applications to next year's ALA cohort are open to all WSU faculty and staff through April 27, 2026. If you'd like to learn more, join us for this informal virtual Q&A session with the ALA Steering Committee and ALA alumni.
