WHAT IS THE CNCLV

​

Convening a Network for Catalyzing Leadership and Vision (CNCLV) in Academic STEM Disciplines is a national forum for STEM faculty from institutions of higher education. It serves as a catalyst for harnessing a centralized body of knowledge and best practices that holistically promotes their personal and professional development in the academy. â€‹â€‹

Inhale. Exhale. …And Again. is more than a call to ‘calm down’ or a reminder to ‘just breathe through it.’ Whether the context is curricular re-design or the politics of promotion and tenure, this meditative mantra is more than some academic colloquialism or creative screensaver message. At its core, Inhale. Exhale. is proof of life! And where there is life, there is always something more – “if only we are brave enough to see it…brave enough to be it (A. Gorman, ’21).” And if only we are brave enough to use it. Because use it, we will. Inhale. Exhale. …And Again. reminds us that our life requires not only seeing and being but also actively and vigilantly witnessing to what is, what is not, and what is yet to be a new age of academic reform – for ourselves and others – today, tomorrow, and the next day also. This CNCLV Program brings together scholar-witnesses from a broad range of institution types to collectively explore and build knowledge frameworks from the volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity that is shaping STEM higher education reform in this moment. Beyond frameworks, this Program will also build scholar-witness aptitude, capacity, power, and fortitude in charting new paths toward academic and professional success for all STEM students and faculty.

CNCLV is ideal for attendees that are junior, mid, and senior level faculty (assistant, associate, full professors) and administrators of institutions of higher education. Educators challenged in balancing life, work, and studies and navigating through the ranks are encouraged to attend.
