The Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) is designed for early to mid-career professionals and faculty leaders who have an interest in and talent for higher education leadership. Therefore, the goal of ELP is to provide participants with an understanding of the various aspects of the academy and how they relate with each other. The first portion of the program, a 3½-day seminar, offers participants the opportunity to explore many facets of the academy; to engage in a national dialogue with experienced leaders and experts in higher education; and to develop a network of colleagues from around the country. The program also includes completing a leadership self-assessment, development of a plan designed to help participants achieve their leadership goals and creation of an action plan to complete a project/initiative at their home campuses during the following academic year. The second portion is completing the project/initiative.

Teaching to Increase Diversity and Equity in STEM (TIDES)
Successful culture change begins at the top of an organisation, and while the gender balance within these roles is now starting to be addressed, there is still some way to go. In a diverse and competitive world, it is essential to bring the best talent to our boards regardless of characteristics such as race, gender, disability or social background. Women leaders make a significant contribution to the HE sector and we are committed to addressing and improving gender balance at a leadership level, including breaking down the barriers for women to enter the boardroom.
Step onto the board was piloted in June 2018 as part of the Board Diversification Project at Advance HE, commissioned by HEFCE, HEFCW and the Department for the Economy in Northern Ireland, to support greater diversity within higher education boards. The workshop was designed based on feedback from Advance HE’s Women onto Boards alumni that suggested further support for those considering a board appointment was wanted in order to develop the right profile and skills.
Step onto the Board responds to this feedback by supporting those who identify as women to develop and present their skills through CV development, resilience building and navigating the culture of boards
