About This Event

Being a thought leader in research administration and management is a skill I seek to instill in all RAC students. Being a research administrator is not just being a bureaucrat. As such, this session provides my thoughts, based on 30 years of experience, on how you may grow your thought leadership. Besides my leading practices, there will be enough time at the end for questions and discussion.
