This two-day leadership institute has three main learning goals:

2) building contextual knowledge of leadership, with attention paid to current challenges and crises in higher education and the lgbtq+ community; and
3) career development, with opportunities for participants to network, meet with mentors, and plan their career paths. (Upon registration, attendees will have the opportunity to request a mentoring session.)

Getting to New Haven: From outside the northeast–Many people will fly into one of the NYC airports and take the train from NY to New Haven. Amtrak goes there, and the Metro North system has a New Haven line. Alternatively, if you fly into Hartford, CT, you may take Amtrak to New Haven from there. If you drive, it’s about a 30-minute drive from Hartford to New Haven.
