Franklin College staff selected for leadership academy
Andrew Rosner, director of digital fluency at Franklin College, has been chosen as a member of the fourth cohort of the Independent Colleges of Indiana Leadership Academy.
The year-long program specializes in the talent development needs of faculty and staff members of private college campuses. Each participant was identified by their sponsoring college as someone whose leadership will be critical to the institution’s future.
Throughout the program, these aspiring leaders will gain an understanding of their institution holistically and within the state and federal higher education landscape. Academy graduates are trained to view their college through multiple lenses, (academic, financial, community involvement and others) and to develop the leadership competencies needed for their institutions and their own professional success.
Rosner joined Franklin College in February 2021 and is a resident of Bargersville.
