Programs for Campus and Academic Leaders

This Forum is a one day program held on campus before the fall semester. It is designed for chairs, deans, associate/assistant deans, and directors. New chairs are invited to an orientation for the first hour (beginning around 9:00 AM). Deans and directors attend with their 'cabinet teams' and convene at 10:00 AM. The agenda includes:

a discussion of legal issues relevant to working in a University and essential knowledge for administrators, faculty, staff, and students. An attorney from the UM General Counsel's office is present to support this discussion.
An update on UMSL initiatives, policies, and procedures important to know as the academic year begins.
Questions about policies and suggestions for topics are welcome and may be sent to Peggy_Cohen@umsl.edu
