Big Ten Academic Alliance – Academic Leadership Program

The Big Ten Academic Alliance Academic Leadership Program honors administrators at universities who are educational leaders and managers. Administrators focus on leadership development and find innovative solutions to ever-shifting circumstances within budgets, student populations and other external sources. Michigan State University is one of 14 participating institutions in the program.

Each academic year, five Fellows are selected for the honor, with a term of one year. The list below includes current faculty or staff only; it does not include alums or emeriti faculty. 

Fellows participate in two-day seminars at other member institutions and participate in readings and other monthly activities on their home campus.

The Big Ten Academic Alliance Academic Leadership Program was previously known as the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC).
