CERTIFICATE IN ALCOHOL PREVENTION LEADERSHIP
Empowering Leadership for Alcohol and Drug Prevention in Higher Education
The Professional Development Institute is a unique leadership development program for student affairs administrators seeking to lead organizational change, articulate a personal vision for their work, and build partnerships with campus colleagues. While presented in the context of successful alcohol prevention leadership, these skills are broadly applicable to other realms of student affairs leadership - residence life, health and wellness, and beyond.
