Higher education institutions face a range of challenges, from student enrollment to faculty development and engagement, requiring effective leadership to foster a supportive and inclusive academic environment. Over the past decade, both presenters have cultivated leadership experience and will share strategies for building strong relationships with faculty and students, supporting faculty in developing as authors and presenters, and engaging faculty within online platforms. The shift toward online learning, accelerated by COVID-19, has necessitated new approaches to faculty support, and we will outline proven methods for navigating these changes successfully. Attendees will gain practical insights, resources, and actionable strategies that can be applied within their own institutions. Additionally, we will share professional development topics that promote equity and engagement, demonstrating how faculty can modify courses and instructional practices to create more inclusive learning environments.
