The Leadership Institute is happy to announce the candidates for the Department Head Certification Training (DHCT Program), our fourth cohort:

• Jennifer J. Didier, Sam Houston State University
• Jeremy M. Elliott, University of Alabama in Huntsville
• Tina L Gaa-Pulley, Northwest Missouri State University
• Jaehun Jung, Northwestern State University
• Lindsay Vago, Franklin Pierce University

The candidates came together last summer for the initial face-to-face training with the Leadership Development Workshop (LDW) participants at the Northwester University in Natchitoches, Louisiana led by Tara Teitjen Smith and Haley Taitano.

The DHCT is a one and a half year training program. The candidates will be presenting the Leadership Project that they are going to work on with their mentors during the NAKHE's Annual Conference this January 2023.

Congratulations!

On behalf of the Leadership Institute,
