2027-02-04 10:00 - 11:15 (America/New_York)
Department chairs play a pivotal role in shaping academic programs, guiding faculty development, and advancing institutional goals. Their leadership directly influences student success, departmental culture, and the faculty experience. For new and emerging chairs – or for experienced chairs seeking fresh perspective and ongoing support – the ACS Effective Department Chair program offers a supportive and practical professional development experience grounded in community, mentoring, and real-world leadership challenges.

This program is designed to help department chairs thrive – not just survive – in their roles.

There is a $500 registration fee for this program. Please contact your provost or dean if you have questions about participation or the professional development funds available to you.
