ELATES at Drexel
Executive Leadership in Academic Technology, Engineering and Science
ELATES at Drexel is a national leadership development program designed to promote senior faculty in leadership for academic engineering, computer science, and other STEM fields into effective institutional leadership roles within their schools and universities.
I cannot recommend the elates program highly enough. This well designed program has enabled me to greatly enhance my leadership skills while also forming a close, supportive network of talented colleagues. It is not an overstatement to say this experience was transformative for me.
Anne M. Robertson, PhD, Associate Dean for Faculty Development, University of Pittsburgh
This experience has made me more collaborative. I feel I now have better ways of interacting with my colleagues, better ways of working to achieve a goal. It has also helped me a great deal in realizing my strengths and realizing my limitations and where I need to put in more work. Most importantly, it has helped me to see how the university works as a whole and not as individual units that are disconnected.
