The Leaders Institute is a leadership development program for administrative supervisors. Sessions focus on applied and theoretical offerings on leadership, coaching, mentoring, vision setting, communication, and the role of college leaders in relation to student success.
Development opportunities are focused on helping the Department Chairs become more effective discipline leaders. Offerings include effective leadership, delegation skills, state curriculum issues, finance and budgeting and student-issue management.

This program helps integrate new faculty into the institution, and supports them through the Focus on New Faculty program. This initiative allows new faculty to quickly transform into comfortable faculty, and easily adapt to the College’s culture. It provides education and opportunities for new faculty to form college-wide relationships with other faculty, staff, administrators and other departments, which is vital to their first year and future successes at IRSC. A new-faculty-specific group works with all new full-time faculty of the institution to provide offerings on topics such as student success, equity and inclusiveness, tenure and promotion, grant development and technology, as well as college services.
New Faculty Mentors
The Focus on New Faculty program pairs new faculty with veteran faculty who provide one-on-one mentoring through the critical first year. New Faculty & Mentors Lunch Forums, which are held monthly, allow mentees and mentors to come together, listen and engage in formal presentations and conversations with areas of the College that may be of special interest to them as they begin to develop within the institution.
