Academic Leadership Fellowships
In October 2024, ACM received a $1.16M renewal grant from the Mellon Foundation to continue the ACM Academic Leadership Fellows program to develop future faculty leaders for the Academy. The current award enables the ACM colleges to support a second cohort of ten ACM Academic Leadership Fellows for two-year terms (July 2025 – June 2027). Project-based work, paired with mentorship and ACM-led professional development, enables fellows to develop and expand their knowledge, skills, and capacities as academic leaders.
Leading Effectively as a Department Chair at an ACM College
Join ACM for a virtual, yearlong professional development series crafted for both new and experienced department chairs at ACM member colleges. This virtual program equips chairs with the frameworks and skills to lead effectively within their department and broader institution, especially in moments of profound change.
Sustaining Belonging Webinars
Hosted by the ACM, “Sustaining Belonging: Webinars on Cultivating Inclusive Residential Colleges” blends research with concrete strategies to prepare staff and faculty to support the multiple dimensions of student identity and experience. These webinars unite colleagues across ACM member institutions to engage with subject matter experts on relevant topics to foster more inclusive, equitable, and welcoming campus communities for all students.
