| Entrance into the program is both prestigious and highly competitive. The Frye Leadership Institute provides an intensive two-week residential program held in early June for faculty, librarians and university information technology professionals who aspire to more significant leadership roles. The program, which focuses on creative leadership and the qualities needed to confront strategic changes in higher education, does not end once the residential portion is completed. Participants go on to conduct a year-long practicum to explore, at their own organization, some of the key issues raised.
In recognizing Argentati’s achievement, NC State Vice Provost and Director of Libraries Susan K. Nutter said, “It’s an honor for Carolyn to be selected competitively from among a pool of talented nominees and applicants who have a commitment to, and talent for, leadership within higher education. I know that she is looking forward to the intellectual challenge of the Institute and will make the most of this opportunity for discussion, reflection and learning among individuals who will be responsible for transforming the management of scholarly information in academia.” |
