AACC
African American Leadership Institute
We are excited to announce the launch of the AACC African American Leadership Institute (AALI). Under the leadership of Dr. Alycia Marshall, Interim Vice President for Learning, AALI recognizes emerging leaders at AACC who have the potential to reinvent our culture and drive change. The inaugural cohort of 13 faculty and staff members were recommended by supervisors and colleagues and selected from an outstanding group of candidates following an application review and interview process. As part of the program, participants will launch transformative projects with support from mentors who have expertise in leadership and higher education – and join a highly supportive network of their peers.
Congratulations and welcome to the AALI Inaugural Cohort!
