UNLV Leadership Experience
A program to empower everyday leaders
About
The UNLV Leadership Experience is a program designed to help emerging leaders expand their knowledge and skills while providing a glimpse into university administration. It educates participants about the complex operations of a large research institution and introduces them to various leadership roles. The program also invites diverse ideas 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, even those with limited or no past leadership experience, who have completed MTA, are welcome to apply.
Objectives
- Grow a larger and more diverse pool of prospective campus leaders
- Provide emerging university leaders with structured opportunities to develop their knowledge and skills
- Promote core institutional values
- Increase faculty and staff participation in shared governance
“Authentic leadership is demonstrated by individuals across the university, regardless of role or title, by the confidence, respect, and trust they earn
