"RIO Faculty Fellows is a vital program for fostering leadership, communication and connection across campus. It has not only inspired me to create a deeper and more expansive research plan, and to work further for structural change—it has also given me the tools to know best how to do that."

"The curriculum encourages personal growth and includes in-depth communication trainings, and research-backed content on interpersonal skills and leadership styles."

"Of all of the leadership trainings I have been a part of (at least five), this was the best one, by far."

"Competencies that were enhanced were in the areas of communication, navigating interpersonal relationships strategically, prioritizing time for introspection and getting a clear vision of the kind of leader one wants to become."

"Invaluable program that builds leadership capacity, empowers faculty to elevate their work to be more visible, and build collaborative connections across the campus."

"The tail is no longer wagging the dog—instead of doing a series of projects opportunistically, I created a vision to pursue through this program."

"Thanks to this network, the benefits from this transformative program are ongoing and expansive, yielding new collaborations and strengthening the relationships that enable creativity, innovation and growth across campus."

"The program has sincerely enhanced my vision thinking for the campus and I have a broader understanding of how things work on different parts of campus and who I can talk to about new ideas."

"The RIO Faculty Fellows program has taught me how to be a better leader and how to communicate my research to broader publics more effectively, and it has guided me in both through the close bonding with a cohort of brilliant and thoughtful peers."
