Faculty Opportunities
Developing faculty as leaders of character and capability is an essential component of WashU Leads.
Faculty have many opportunities to have a positive impact on the University community and our broader society. In their leadership of students in the classroom, leadership within professional associations, and contributions to the administration of the university, faculty—regardless of rank or role—guide the development of others. The Bauer Leaders Academy collaborates with partners on campus and offers unique programs to develop faculty as leaders of character and capability.

Faculty Grant Opportunities
The Bauer Leaders Academy in conjunction with the Bauer Leadership Center offers selective grants to help faculty infuse their courses with themes related to purpose and leadership. By thinking critically and creatively about their areas of expertise, faculty deepen their own leadership while building pedagogy that contributes to the development of their students.
