President's Leadership Institute
The President's Leadership Institute is a 9-month program for TCC employees to develop leadership skills and collaborate across departments.
The President's Leadership Institute (PLI) is a nine-month professional development opportunity for TCC employees. Participants will build relationships with colleagues and learn more about TCC and the higher education context in which TCC operates. Full‐day sessions are conducted by Cabinet members and community leaders. The Institute agenda also includes a mini-retreat, campus visits, and an opportunity to attend Higher Education Day at the State Capitol.
Purpose
TCC’s President’s Leadership Institute prepares faculty and staff for future leadership opportunities by providing participants with knowledge and leadership skills. PLI shapes the talent and drive already within the College’s ranks of future leaders. The experience of working and learning together in the institute builds camaraderie and strengthens ties across departments, helping participants discover new opportunities and creative ways to serve students together. The institute builds collaborative skills; offers greater insight into the College’s operations, services, and programs; and influences the next generation of leaders to serve students, the greater community, and the vision of education nationwide.
Eligibility
Full-time employees who have worked at TCC in a full-time position for at least one year are eligible for nomination. The College seeks a diverse group of participants representing various campuses, multiple teaching disciplines, and staff from a wide range of programs, offices, and departments. Participants are expected to commit to attending all sessions and, with the support of their supervisors, should structure their schedules accordingly.
Nomination & Selection
Nominations can come from a supervisor, a co-worker, or the employee themselves. Nominees should already demonstrate leadership potential and interest in engaging more with the College community. All nominations are submitted to the President’s Office for final selection. The institute is open to all full-time TCC faculty and staff members, of all ranks, levels, and departments.
Delivery Methods & Format
Sessions are held once a month on Fridays from approximately 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and participants will have some readings and activities to complete outside of the institute’s monthly meetings. Classes will feature executives from within the College, the community, and our higher education partners to discuss issues facing the College or those on the strategic horizon. The President’s Leadership Institute will select a new cohort each year, and each cohort is limited to 25 participants.
