Institute for Leadership Advancement
The Institute for Leadership Advancement is made possible through a generous gift from the J.M. Smucker Company. While our vision is both futuristic and bold, it is firmly tied to our enduring values of ethics and responsibility, a comprehensive strategy, integrated programming which connects both knowledge and people, and targeted learning outcomes.
If you have any questions about any of our initiatives, feel free to call us at 330-972-8115 or e-mail us at leadership@uakron.edu
