The ASPPH Academic Public Health Leadership Institute (APHLI) is a year-long, cohort-based program focused on the unique challenges of ASPPH-member deans and program directors.
The ASPPH APHLI, designed in collaboration with the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL), a global leader in executive education, draws on decades of experience in developing top leaders in academia and public health.
APHLI Scholars
The 2019-2020 Academic Public Health Leadership Institute is specifically designed for deans or program directors of ASPPH-member schools and programs who have been in the role of dean or program director less than five years, and are able to commit to the year-long Leadership Institute.
ASPPH anticipates offering future program cohorts for deans and program directors with more than five years experience in the role of dean or program director, as well as those aspiring to academic public health leadership – the next generation of deans and program directors.
