UNLV Leadership Pathways
A program to empower everyday leaders
About
The UNLV Leadership Pathways program is designed to help emerging leaders expand their knowledge and skills while providing a glimpse into various leadership roles at the university. It educates participants about the complex operations of a large research institution while promoting leadership best practices. The program also encourages idea and perspective-sharing and promotes inclusion at the highest levels of the university.
This is the second in a series of progressive leadership development programs at UNLV. Applicants to this program must first complete the Management Training Academy (MTA) offered through the Office of Human Resources. To create the broadest possible internal talent pool of future leaders, this opportunity is available to all MTA graduates, even if they have limited or no prior formal leadership experience.

Objectives
- Provide emerging university leaders with structured opportunities to develop their knowledge and skills.
- Prepare participants to take on advanced leadership roles across the university.
- Promote inclusive and strategic thinking to help participants contribute to the university’s long-term vision and goals.
- Connect participants with colleagues across campus to cultivate a diverse group of future campus leaders.
Authentic leadership is demonstrated by individuals across the university, regardless of role or title, by the confidence, respect, and trust they
