University of California, Berkeley
Clark Kerr Campus, Conference Center
March 25 - 29, 2012

The Executive Leadership Academy (ELA) is designed for individuals from all backgrounds who are interested in preparing themselves for appointments to executive positions such as vice presidents, provosts, presidents, and chancellors. The ELA is an intensive and focused training academy for higher education administrators and faculty from across the country and throughout the world. A select faculty team of senior level higher education executives and scholars will provide an interactive curriculum. The theme for the ELA is "Ten Years from Now: Leading in a Multicultural Environment."

"TEN YEARS FROM NOW: LEADING IN A MULTICULTURAL ENVIRONMENT"

• The constantly expanding capabilities of information technology, social media, and broadband communication.
• The forces of globalization that are erasing the boundaries between nations and institutions.
• Diminished public funding of higher education as a recognized public benefit to society.
• Rapid demographic change, especially in multicultural and multinational environments worldwide.

The goal of ELA is to help prepare executive administrators and future executive administrators for this new higher education world now and a decade into the future. Universities around the world are increasingly multicultural and multinational. This global trend is evident in all aspects of academic and administrative life, including research, student affairs, community relations, athletics, admissions, and even areas such as development and alumni relations. Anyone who aspires to lead in this new environment must have the knowledge and skills to work with individuals from a wide range of cultures and backgrounds.

Situated overlooking the San Francisco Bay, the Claremont Hotel Club & Spa sets new heights in service, amenities, and accommodations. While its 279 rooms all offer a mix of old world charm and California comfort, no two are alike. Each has its own distinct appeal. The blue-and-gold décor harkens to the Claremont's rich history, originally a romantic castle at the start of the Gold Rush and later a grand hotel during the Age of Romanticism. Newly renovated and recently recognized by Expedia with the Insider's Select Award for excellence, the majestic hotel on the hill focuses on providing you with an exclusive experience. Spa Claremont provides all the serenity and services you need to relax, rejuvenate, and unwind and has been named among the 10 best spas of its kind in the country by Vogue, Elle, and Shape magazines.
