Humanities Leadership for Community College Faculty
A Professional Development Series Offered in Collaboration by MLA and CCHA
If you are an aspiring leader in the humanities at a community college—a department chair, assistant dean, or engaged faculty member—this professional development opportunity is for you!
The humanities play a critical role in the mission of two-year institutions. This virtual workshop series offered jointly by the Modern Language Association and the Community College Humanities Association will provide current and aspiring community college leaders with the tools to argue for the centrality of the humanities to that mission, advocate for the humanities on their campuses and in their communities, and design strategies in the areas most relevant to community college faculty members and students.
Humanities Leadership for Community College Faculty affords an opportunity to grow your network and to earn a leadership credential through our partnership with Credly. Seats are limited, so register soon! Special rates are offered to MLA and CCHA members.
The four virtual 55-minute sessions all take place at 5:00 p.m. ET on the third Tuesday of the month.
