Annual Institute: Each July, the Institute for Administrators in Catholic Higher Education hosts a five-day seminar providing a singular opportunity for administrators and leaders at Catholic colleges and universities around the globe to interact with some of the nation’s most outstanding scholars and practitioners as they address issues that Catholic higher education faces on a daily basis. A sample of issues the seminar strives to address are:
- How do we create a campus culture that is Catholic?
- How does the Catholic intellectual tradition affect the curriculum at your institution?
- How do Catholic colleges and universities work within the larger context of the Church?
- What are the implications of the decline in numbers of priests, brothers, and nuns who established, administered, and taught in these colleges and universities?
- What is the place of Catholic social teaching in the curriculum and campus activities?
- How does/should Catholic moral teaching affect campus life?
- What does it mean to be a Catholic college or university in the 21st century?
The seminar is designed to serve administrative leaders such as presidents, provosts, vice-presidents, deans, mission officers, major program directors, and others in positions responsible for institutional mission and identity.
In its first seven years the Institute has attracted administrators from Catholic colleges and universities across the U.S., Canada, Taiwan, Guatemala, the Philippines, and South Africa.
