BIPOC FLC Meeting
The BIPOC Faculty Leadership
Council ended the 2023-2024 year with an in-person convening of seven members from five campuses along with GLCA President Mickey McDonald. They wrapped up conversations about this year’s topic – Recruiting and Retaining BIPOC Faculty – and also talked more generally about leadership on campus.
Pop-Up GALI
In February 2024, the GLCA held its inaugural Pop-Up GALI, hosted at Kalamazoo College, to focus on the dynamics of leadership and decision-making in a liberal arts college. Members from Kalamazoo College, Hope College and Albion College participated in this one-day event to deepen understanding and appreciation of institution-level budgeting through presentation and an active budgeting exercise. The group also discussed personal and institutional leadership when confronted with sticky or challenging situations.
