About Attending This Program
All EDUCAUSE Institutes are built around the following core themes, which you'll learn more about in the program: diversity, equity, and inclusion, student success, and digital transformation. We believe in a humanized, learner-centered approach that supports communities of learning and networking.
This intensive, eight-week institute engages participants in interactive live sessions, offers small applied team projects designed to support networking and learning, and provides coaching with the faculty. We ask that participants actively plan the time they will spend on the institute each week, even on a daily basis. Each competency below is delivered with diverse learning materials, resources, activities, and capstone projects in support of in-depth learning, immediate application, and networking.
- Interpersonal Communication: Communicate professionally and successfully with all levels of the organization.
- Includes support for adaptive communication, active listening, presentation skills, difficult conversations, and conflict management.
- Projects: Methods, Best Practices, and Stakeholders: Demonstrate effective oversight of projects and people.
- Includes support for project basics, project methodologies, project stakeholders and teams, best practices for project success, team dynamics, and time management.

Weekly Meetings
Once a week, we will hold a live, synchronous online meeting to discuss resources, activities, and projects. These meetings will be a combination of short talks, discussion, and opportunities for questions. See the full meeting schedule in the Agenda page.
Learners are expected to dedicate approximately 5-10 hours per week (synchronous and asynchronous) to have an engaged and successful learning experience.
Coaching and Mentoring Opportunities
As part of your enrollment in this institute, you have the opportunity to receive coaching and mentoring from one of the program's faculty or an experienced leader from the higher-ed IT community. The post program mentoring opportunity lasts for three months, and enables a one-on-one connection for the duration of this time.
