"I am so excited for the 2023 Faculty Leadership Institute. I love that the FLI not only focuses on developing leadership skills in faculty who are in formal leadership roles, but also skills that are beneficial for faculty to lead from where they are - no matter what the position. Attendees leave with content that is applicable to all areas of their career and life."
