ExEd Hub Launches Higher Ed Strategic & Inclusive Management Program

How can current administration, management and leadership practices in higher education be improved to foster equality, diversity, and inclusion? What good practices exist and how can inter-institutional cooperation be fostered?
On May 9, 2021, the newly established OSUN
Executive Education Hub
at Central European University launched an innovative and comprehensive program for university administrators to explore precisely how to tackle these issues. The ExEd Hub was founded and launched by the Open Society University Network and CEU in 2021, inspired by their open society mission.
The
Global Professional Development Program for University Administrators
seeks to improve the management capacity and practices at universities in the OSUN network and beyond, while promoting OSUN values among the higher education administrators and institutions. The courses are designed for students and practitioners across multiple campuses to ensure educational opportunities regardless of geographical location.
The professional development program for university administrators offers a total of four courses tailored for staff in managerial roles in OSUN member institutions:
Strategic and Inclusive Management of Higher Education Institutions,
Advancing the Frontiers of Knowledge: Building and Supporting Research Excellence at Universities
(started June 2021), Managing Community Engagement of Universities (starts Fall 2021), Managing International Cooperation in a Global Classroom: Maximizing the Impact of Mobility Programs for Universities, Researchers and Students (starts Fall 2021).
The first intensive course offered in this framework was
Strategic and Inclusive Management of Higher Education Institutions,
led by
Dr. Pusa Nastase
. Throughout the course, participants developed a critical understanding of advanced contemporary theories in higher education administration, access policies, diversity, and the expansion of university mission and reflected on how these can be applied to their own contexts.
Participants received a Certificate of Professional Development after successfully completing the course. At a later stage, the Certificate can be counted towards the comprehensive Certificate Program for University Administrators, which aims to fill a gap in training opportunities for this professional group.
The course received high ratings from participants, who commended the blend of lectures with internationally renowned guest speakers in each module, enriching each lesson with the learnings of experienced practitioners.
Reflecting on his experience in the course,
Stephen Mucher
, Director of Teacher Credentialing at UC Berkeley and Senior Education Advisor, Bard MAT, stated that “I came in really wanting to know about OSUN and to actualize project ideas coinciding with a semester spent in Nairobi and in Rwanda while working on refugee workshops for teachers. The course helped me process my on-the-ground learning experiences and introduced me to colleagues from other institutions asking similar questions. I very much enjoyed the course.”
