The Office of Faculty Affairs typically conducts several Academic Leadership Forums during the fall and spring semesters for University deans, associate deans, department heads, and other academic administrators.

The Academic Leadership Forum Planning Committee helps to identify topics and speakers for the forums. The topics vary each year depending on what contemporary issues are occurring in U.S. higher education and at Penn State.

Participation in Academic Leadership Forums is by invitation only. Dates, times, topics, agendas, and speakers are subject to change as situations warrant.
