Participants will explore topics such as change management\, project management\, employee engagement\, library budgeting\, equity\, diversity and inclusion\, civil discourse\, and leadership pathways in academic libraries. The program combines lectures\, case studies\, collaborative discussions\, reflection\, and applied problem-solving exercises in a unique setting on the eastern edge of Canada. \nThe institute also includes networking and social opportunities\, including a welcome reception\, a downtown St. John’s dinner and Irish music evening\, and time to enjoy the scenic surroundings of Signal Hill. \nRegistration is capped at 30 participants. Applications from all Canadian academic libraries are welcome\, with priority given to applicants from CARL member libraries. \nNote that the program will be delivered in English\, but supporting materials will be available in both English and French in advance of the institute. \nSee the Call for Participants for more details. \nFor more information: \nSusan Cleyle\nCARL Visiting Program Officer – Leadership Development Initiatives\nscleyle@mun.ca \nJulie Hannaford\nDeputy Chief Librarian\, University of Toronto Libraries\nj.hannaford@utoronto.ca
