Academic department chairs and other faculty administrators serve critical roles as leaders of their units. Academic Administrators are not only faculty members, they are also the academic leaders of their units. Outstanding Academic Administrators advance the research, teaching, and service missions of their units and help foster a collegial academic environment to support these missions. Being an effective Academic Administrator involves a variety of skills and an understanding of University policies and procedures.

This page provides information to assist Academic Administrators in effectively managing their units.
