Interim Provost Katie Gantz served as a senior administrator co-facilitator at the 2022 Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges (COPLAC) Beard Leadership Circle at Sonoma State University in California. The focus of the three-day BLC summer institute was support for early- to mid-career department chairs/program directors from COPLAC member institutions. Approximately 40 participants met to address common challenges, develop professional networks, share resources and build decision-making strategies. Gantz led a workshop for new department chairs and program coordinators and a session on leading with emotional intelligence.
