This year’s SPA Day theme seeks to stimulate conversations that include perspectives from the lens of students, faculty, and staff. A crucial perspective to include is that of the chairs of academic departments. Their role in maintaining a healthy and collegial environment has become more complex in times of constant change and emerging challenges. This panel will explore the experiences and approaches of department heads and provide an opportunity to learn about their challenges and successes as they strive to foster inclusion, accessibility, collegiality, and community.
