<br>
Please see the announcement below about applications for the UO Leadership Academy. This is a great program for leadership development on campus that several current and former Senators have completed. It comes highly recommended by past president Skowron. I encourage you to apply.</div>

As a reminder, the UO Leadership Academy is a year-long professional development opportunity designed to increase our collective knowledge of transformational leadership practices and grow a diverse cohort of university leaders.</blockquote>

Please also encourage your peers and those who report to you to consider applying as well. Letting a colleague know that you see leadership potential in them can be an important first step to them further developing their capacity as leaders.</blockquote>
