The Office of Institutional Initiatives (OII) provides high-quality
integrated services to assist higher education systems, as well as
individual colleges and universities, with building capacity and
advancing their mission. These custom-designed, solution-oriented
services include retreat and meeting facilitation, leadership education
for mid- and more advanced senior leaders, and support in areas of
special concern to systems or campuses. Drawing on ACE's considerable
expertise, the office offers assistance with institutional initiatives
from strategic planning, change management and faculty career
flexibility to preparation for regional accreditation or NCAA
certification.
Our work with Faculty Career Flexibility
OII offers services to institutions through funding from the Alfred
P. Sloan Foundation to increase the flexibility of faculty careers.
These activities include assistance with policy development and
assessment, climate surveys, leadership development, and institutional
transformation. To date, we have received $10 million dollars in funding
from the Sloan Foundation to support these efforts. Additionally, we
have submitted a grant proposal to the National Science Foundation to
develop and pilot an expanded "customizable consulting" service.
