Leadership Journeys in Higher Education

• In Event: Interventions Influencing Student Sucess

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

In a quest for building equitable educational opportunities, it is essential to reflect and understand how the experience of leaders can influence their work, and ultimately, student outcomes. This symposium will explore dimensions of leadership across faculty and administrator roles in higher education and the influence of these experiences on educational outcomes for students.  Seeking to understand facets of leadership inside and outside of the classroom, the session is guided by research on the experiences of Latina and African American female faculty, mid-level African American female administrators, upper-level Latina academic administrators, and Title IX coordinators. The organizers will present their current work which will be reviewed by the discussant and the chair will facilitate an open dialogue during the session.
