by Makaye Smith ’15

Jim Shriver, associate dean for curriculum and faculty development, was recently nominated and selected for the 2015-2016 Senior Leadership Academy (SLA). This leadership development program was implemented by the Council of Independent Colleges to satisfy the need to prepare future leaders of colleges and universities. The program consists of two seminars (in Baltimore, Maryland, in November and Washington, D.C., in June, 2016) led by current and former presidents and vice presidents. Shriver will also participate in activities such as book groups or campus visits throughout the year. A maximum of 25 participants from independent colleges and universities who are looking to advance in college administration are selected for SLA.
