"The ACCU Mission Institute was one of the finest professional training and sharing experiences I have encountered. From the first session to the conclusion, presenters offered solid, rich content and participants engaged in hands-down, real-world sharing about authentic issues on Catholic campuses today! This Institute was truly formative for participants." 

— Rev. Dr. James Mac New, OSFS, Holy Family University

Join this intensive program to explore the complex and multi-layered roles
of mission leaders in Catholic higher education.

Formerly known as the Mission Officer Institute, the ACCU Mission Leadership Institute is an intensive 4-day summer program facilitated by experienced mission officers and other experts in Catholic higher education. The Mission Leadership Institute features:

• engaging presentations by inspiring speakers
• workshops and activities, including the opportunity to develop an "Action Project" to take back to campus
• panels of experts eager to assist and mentor participants 
• opportunities for prayer and worship

"I found the conference to be very rewarding. The group exercises were educational and a great way to get to know professionals from other schools."

— Don Brom, Holy Family University

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

The Mission Leadership Institute is designed to help new, emerging, and future mission leaders integrate and sustain mission on their campus. The program is for anyone who has responsibilities for advancing, promoting, and integrating Catholic mission on campus. This includes mission officers, student development personnel, department chairs, diversity officers, and deans and provosts.  The Institute is also an excellent opportunity for mid-career and senior mission leaders to gain new perspectives, learn new skills, and refresh their spirit.

"The institute was an opportunity for our team, which was working to propose a mission structure for our university, to vet ideas and receive feedback from multiple perspectives. ... We found it to be beneficial for us to participate as a team in order to have the space to collaborate and imagine a mission structure that fit our institution."

— Emily Dykman, Viterbo University
