About the Institute

Shape the Future of Higher Education

The AGB Institute for Leadership & Governance is designed for innovative, adaptive leaders who have a passion for higher education, a drive to serve as a college or university President, and commitment to shaping the future of the sector.

Prepare for the Presidency

The Institute’s mission is to cultivate a diverse pipeline of exceptional leaders who are poised to serve as college and university Presidents. For institutions to thrive, their leaders must reflect the changing demographics of our country, and they must be well-prepared to work in partnership with governing boards and stakeholders to meet evolving societal needs.

The six-month Institute, composed of challenging symposia, interactive online workshops, and one-on-one mentoring, will connect participants with top higher education leaders to discuss leadership and governance challenges facing institutions of higher learning.

Top higher education leaders, including current and former Presidents and experienced Executive Search Consultants, will share customized guidance on the search process and real-world strategies for navigating the issues facing higher education institutions.
