ELATES at Drexel presents its 2022 Leaders Forum

The 2022 ELATES Leaders Forum will take place on Thursday, March 17, 2022. The ELATES at Drexel Leaders Forum is a unique opportunity for Fellows and their institutional leaders to discuss the wide range of organizational change initiatives addressed during the Fellowship year.

The symposium

• highlights the Fellows’ accomplishments and leadership activities.
• provides a space for content-rich interaction between fellows and guests.
• supports collaboration on organizational change efforts across institutions.
• demonstrates the overarching impact of ELATES Institutional Action Projects on organization improvement.
