Wayne State University (WSU) is committed to developing effective academic leaders who empower others by working with them collegially to achieve common goals, build a community of scholars, teachers, and practitioners, and sustain a high level of morale and engagement. To this end, the Office of the Provost has created the Wayne State University Academic Leadership Academy (ALA) to support the development of the leadership skills and capacity of WSU faculty and academic staff. ALA aspires to increase the number and broaden the impact of skilled leaders at WSU who can contribute to the mission of the University and enhance the lives of its students, employees, and surrounding community members.

Application is now open for the next ALA cohort (2022-23). Attend this session or others scheduled throughout the semester to learn more about the program from ALA alumni and ALA Steering Committee members.
