The ALN is a targeted, intensive, leadership development program for experienced leaders focused on a comprehensive approach to leadership development, style and skills. The program is a multi-institutional program formed to network academic leaders, share best practices and benchmarking and foster collaboration across diverse organizations. The program structure consists of three leadership conference sessions each hosted at a different participating university campus. These sessions are designed to build leadership awareness and effectiveness in the context of higher education, and facilitate conversations over a range of topics that support leadership growth in key areas across multiple spheres of influence. Each participating university selects an internal leadership liaison to support its leaders and assist with organizational outcomes.

Faculty Mentoring
Mentoring is the all-inclusive description of everything done to support an individual’s (mentee) orientation to a professional role and professional development toward successful advancement in an identified field of endeavor. Mentoring is the larger context for learning techniques and other professional and personal skills and insights needed for professional growth. Articulating the roles, process and outcomes/goals of the mentoring process are critical to success of the relationship. The University of Louisville’s Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs is committed to supporting faculty mentors, mentees and mentoring environment. This site outlines an organizational model of mentorship within the University of Louisville, defines key terms related to the mentoring process, suggests roles and responsibilities and identifies resources in support of a successful and robust mentoring program.
