The
Center for Faculty Leadership (CFL) at the University of North Carolina
Wilmington is dedicated to developing and sustaining the caliber of
academic leadership that is essential to the mission and goals outlined
in UNCW’s strategic plan. The Center serves as a resource for
individuals who aspire to academic leadership and as a training site
for newly appointed department chairs, division coordinators and
program directors. CFL also serves as a resource for current, mid-level
academic leaders interested in strengthening their effectiveness,
improving the quality of their academic programs and, advancing their
professional careers in university administration. As a partner in the
Community of Scholars, the Center for Faculty Leadership supports
collaborative initiatives from both its constituent units and
individual faculty members. With regard to the latter, CFL serves as a
resource for faculty-generated proposals that require institutional
support beyond the departmental or program level.
