Academic Department Administration

Our office supports effective academic administration first and foremost by responding promptly and professionally to specific requests from academic units at Brooklyn College. We provide a comprehensive series of orientation sessions, every fall semester, for new chairs and emerging leaders. We also work with department chairs, and other administrative offices, to design and deliver targeted workshops and other services to address major administrative needs.
