The President and Provost's Leadership Institute (PPLI) focuses on long-term faculty leadership development. The primary goals of the institute are to create a pool of potential leaders from groups that traditionally have been underrepresented in key leadership roles and to develop leaders who can create a culture that is supportive of all faculty members by focusing on the nature of effective leadership.

These leaders are now uniquely qualified for higher education administration at Ohio State and to cultivate a culture in which all can thrive. Please consider these trained and motivated staff and faculty, along with previous graduates, for leadership positions in your units and colleges.
