Dr. Ranjan Karri has been recognized to participate in the President’s Executive Leadership Program, a unique professional development opportunity and experience for selected senior-level faculty and administrators across the University of Illinois System. Consisting of four seminars held during a 12-month period, the objective of the leadership program is to broaden understanding of higher education issues and to strengthen skill sets in leading and managing a public institution at the university or system level. The Board of Trustees supports the program as a mechanism for identifying and developing a diverse group of potential future university and system leaders. President Killeen is actively involved in all aspects of the program, attends the seminars, and interacts extensively with participants.
