Frye Leadership Institute

The challenges and changes of contemporary higher education have created the need for campus leadership with new competencies and perspectives—people who can bring a new framework to our historic enterprise. The purpose of the Frye Leadership Institute is to bring to tomorrow's higher education leadership the insights and understanding of the issues that will inform this framework. The Institute, initiated through a generous grant from the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation, is sponsored by the Council on Library and Information Resources, EDUCAUSE, and Emory University. The Institute is named in honor of Billy E. Frye, now retired, who has served as the chancellor and provost of Emory University, a member of the board of the Council on Library and Information Resources, and a distinguished leader in higher education.

The Frye Leadership Institute provides continuing education opportunities for individuals who currently hold, or will one day assume, positions that make them responsible for transforming the management of scholarly information in institutions of higher education. The Institute enrolls 40 to 50 individuals a year. Participants begin their Frye experience on their home campus with discussions involving the president, provost, CFO, CIO, and dean of libraries, providing important context for their residential experience. For two weeks in early June, participants gather for an intensive residential experience that exposes them to higher education leaders and luminaries from around the country.

The following individuals have been selected for participation in the 2009 Frye Leadership Institute. This year's Institute will be held May 31-June 11, at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.
