2021 International Faculty Development Webinar
| Lessons learned from my journey through UC Davis administration: advice for future academic leaders at NAIST |
|---|
"Co-creating the future" is an important theme of President Shiozaki's Vision 2030. An essential characteristic of co-creation is participation by all stakeholders in planning for the future of the institution, including those who may eventually take on formal roles in university administration. In this seminar, Dr. Burtis will introduce lessons about leadership learned over the course of his career at UC Davis. Over the past decade, Dr. Burtis worked to guide the planning for campus growth and the development of the current strategic plan for UC Davis. In addition to the comments by Dr. Burtis, participants will engage in an interactive exercise focused on strategies that are part of The President's Vision 2030. The goal will be to provide advice and encouragement to those who may become future leaders at NAIST, as well as to all those who will contribute to the success of NAIST over the coming decade.
