The Advance Leadership Development Program (ALDP) at Florida State University announced its class of 2020-21 graduates Friday.
The eight-month, cohort-based professional development program wrapped up on April 2, 2021 with a group comprised of 25 faculty and staff members.
ALDP is sponsored by the Office of Human Resources and is a training certificate program designed to foster the growth and development of high-performing leaders and emerging leaders at Florida State University.
During this academic year, participants engaged in a series of targeted virtual professional development workshops designed to:
- Expand leadership knowledge and skills for today’s changing higher education environment
- Increase knowledge and impact in leading teams
- Enhance effectiveness in current roles
- Increase commitment to a strategic and innovative culture
- Strengthen FSU’s diverse culture by building networks to increase collaboration
FSU employs a high-performing workforce and strives to retain that talent by providing professional development opportunities such as ALDP to build on existing strengths and skillsets.
