The New Classification That is Reshaping Leader Development in Higher Education
The landscape of higher education is continually evolving, with institutions striving to meet the dynamic needs of students and society. A groundbreaking shift in this landscape is the introduction of the new Carnegie Classification for Leadership for Public Purpose. This innovative classification is not just a new benchmark; it is a transformative approach that is reshaping leader development in higher education.
Redefining Leadership with a Public Purpose
The Carnegie Classification for Leadership for Public Purpose focuses on cultivating leaders who are committed to serving the public good. This new classification recognizes institutions that excel in developing leaders who prioritize societal impact, ethical governance, and community engagement. By emphasizing leadership for public purpose, the classification encourages higher education institutions to integrate civic responsibility and social justice into their leadership programs.
Today we are sitting down with Carla Ortega Santori, Strategic Initiatives Manager with Rice University's Doerr Institute for New Leaders. Carla worked with the Carnegie Foundation and the American Council on Education on the development and launch of the new Elective Classification for Leadership for Public Purpose since the beginning.
Carla shares with us how the new classification was created, the ins and outs of the application process, and how it impacts leader development throughout higher education.
