The Game of Life As An Academic Leader

The decision to move into an academic leadership position can be a complicated one. This symposium aims to provide an opportunity for participants who are considering academic leadership, who may already be in administrative positions, or who are just curious about what these positions entail to discuss the benefits and challenges of those roles. Participants in this session will play The Game of Life as an Academic Administrator, a twist on the card game version of the classic board game, Life. The game will set the scene for a discussion on what life looks like in different paths of academic administration and how life can change.
