Frequently Asked Questions About the Wheelhouse Institutes
Why should college leaders refine their practice at Wheelhouse?
- Success for all students requires strategic reallocation of resources and optimal use of personnel, financial, technological and physical assets.
- The pipeline of future community college leaders is constricted and the turnover rate of current college CEOs is significant, challenging the stability and growth of an essential education and economic system.
- Average CEO tenure is too brief to ensure leaders can support lasting institutional change and improved effectiveness.
