The ALT workshop is two-day workshop intended to provide leadership skills and practice for mid-career faculty interested in taking positions are an academic leader. In this context, academic leaders include Center Directors and University Administrators. The first workshop will be held in the first quarter of 2016. The workshop includes a 360-degree feedback exercise, panels by experienced academic leaders (EALs) on practical topics, and breakouts to generate individualized leadership plans.

Cottrell Scholars Collaborative (CSC)
The Cottrell Scholars Collaborative is a network of academic scientists who are past recipients of the Cottrell Scholar Award given out by the Research Corporation for Science Advancement. We are firmly committed to the ideal of the teacher-scholar who excels both in the laboratory and in the classroom, and are dedicated to using the scientific method to improve STEM education. As a group, we promote transformative change in science education through the exploration of new pedagogies and the dissemination of proven methods, always asking ourselves, are we doing this in the best possible manner and can we improve the learning outcomes for our students.
