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.
