June 22 - April 19, 2023
As a professional development organization for those working in marketing and communications at community and technical colleges, NCMPR is committed to elevating the profession by building strong leaders in the areas of marketing, public relations, enrollment management and institutional advancement. As such, NCMPR has developed a new approach to the Leadership Institute focusing exclusively on developing the skills needed for communication professionals to advance in their careers and succeed as key members of their colleges’ administrative leadership teams.
The Leadership Institute includes instruction and mentoring over a period of 10 months (June 2022 through March 2023) with up to 15-20 other peers from community college marketing and PR. The format will include:
Tuition and fees will cover the StrengthsFinder assessment, registration for the summer workshop, webinars, discussion groups, coaching sessions and registration for the national conference. Travel and lodging costs for the summer workshop and national conference are not included and are the responsibility of the participants. Travel and accommodation information will be shared at a later date.
Students will also receive a certificate of program completion upon successful student project presentation and 3 college credits (upon request).
Scholarships are available. Each district will be able to award up to one participant a partial scholarship with a value of up to $1,250. Interested applicants will need to complete a Leadership Institute application and answer questions about how a scholarship would impact their participation in the program. The deadline for applicants that wish to be considered for a scholarship is April 19.
Eligible participants must have worked at least one year in the marketing and communications field at a two-year community or technical college, have had some supervision and management experience (not necessarily in a community college), and have demonstrated commitment to personal and leadership growth, collaboration, and innovation.
Applicants must be NCMPR members and employed by an NCMPR member organization. Not a member? Join NCMPR.
Deadline to apply has now been extended to April 19, 2023.
APPLICATION PERIOD IS CLOSED.
The Leadership Institute will be led by Peggy Young and the Customized Training and Education (CT&E) center at Riverland Community College. CT&E instructors are carefully selected for their expertise in the topic, prior industry experience, and teaching philosophy.
