To meet the critical challenges in today’s environment, Miami University is launching a bold initiative:
The School of Engineering and Applied Science Leadership Institute
“Organizations are facing critical challenges—global turbulence in the markets, momentous healthcare issues, and the impending loss of intellectual capital with baby-boomers’ retirements. Today’s graduates must be prepared to immediately demonstrate the character and leadership to adapt to changing forces in order to achieve great things.”
Alumna Louise Morman, CEO, Insight Power, New York
“Students entering the workforce can no longer solely rely on being technically proficient and solving problems others have given to them. They must also have the capacity to be creative and dynamic leaders to have the impact employers need them to have. Employers need graduates who are prepared to identify issues, work in teams to find innovative approaches, effectively communicate ideas, and guide initiatives to benefit society.”
Alumnus Steve Brockman, Managing Director and Co-owner of Vital Concepts Associates, Georgia
“The alumni know the School of Engineering and Applied Science has a legacy of innovation and understanding the complexities of the real world and are committed to having Miami keep an eye to the future. A team of alumni, as part of the Dean’s Advisory Council, worked in conjunction with the School to create a strategic plan for the Leadership Institute.”
Alumnus Andrew Olson, Principal of A|A|O Search, Illinois
“We intend to launch the Leadership Institute to provide an environment where aspiring engineers, computer scientists and nurses can learn and exercise the leadership competencies that will be essential to their professional and personal lives and establish a national reputation for SEAS and Miami as a university where leadership is an integral part of the educational experience.”
Marek Dollár, Dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science
