Arlington, VA, April 11, 2019—Thirty-eight individuals have been selected to participate in the 2019 Leading Change Institute (LCI). Jointly sponsored by CLIR and EDUCAUSE, LCI is designed for leaders in higher education, including CIOs, librarians, information technology professionals, and administrators, who want to work collaboratively to promote and initiate change on critical issues affecting the academy. These issues include new sources of competition, use of technology to support effective teaching and learning, distance learning, changing modes of scholarly communications, and the qualities necessary for leadership.
Participants will join deans Joanne Kossuth and Elliott Shore along with other thought leaders from the community in discussing approaches to these challenges, including ideas for collaboration, collective creativity, and innovation within and across departments, institutions, and local or regional boundaries; the conceptualization of blended positions and organizations; and the importance of community mentorship and advocacy.
This year, for the first time, two participants—Monika Rhue and Tina Rollins—were awarded full-tuition scholarships to LCI through CLIR’s Digital Library Federation (DLF) fellowships program. The fellowships enable practitioners to participate in conferences that they might not otherwise attend, and seek to foster “cross-pollinators” among professional communities.
The institute will be held June 2–7 in Washington, DC.
