This 12-month program, launched in 2025, is designed to enhance leadership skills and strategic thinking among university staff. Participants engaged in group leadership coaching, active learning, and assessments, focusing on four key areas: leading self, leading people, leading with strategy, and leading for results. The academy is part of FGCU's strategic plan, specifically Goal 4, which aims to develop future leaders within the institution. Dr. Eileen DeLuca, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives and Chief of Staff, serves as the executive sponsor for the academy.
