University leaders of the future must continue to act as stewards of their institutions’ global reputation in rapidly changing external environments; building teams that excel at all aspects of institutional reputation, advancement and advocacy.

Across the UK, United States, Australia and Canada, the CASE Global Leaders Programme will provide its delegates with a clear understanding of what global excellence looks like in each of these areas.

The programme will also provide insight and practical tools to help university leaders to take a more integrated and strategic approach across the full spectrum of external engagement; be this marketing and communications, philanthropy and alumni relations, political affairs and advocacy.

Your programme will include:

• a carefully curated cohort of between 12 – 16 University Executive Board (Cabinet) leaders, nominated by their institutional leader.

• an exceptional international study tour to some of the world’s most innovative institutions, led by a world-leading Vice-Chancellor and supported by expert facilitators.

• three Reputation, Advocacy and Advancement in Action masterclasses, with opportunity to participate in key action learning sets and attend VIP dinners in London with leading guest speakers from government, industry and third sector.

• a half-day of facilitated exchange and engagement in the UK with another international CASE Global Leaders Programme Cohort, followed by an evening dinner hosted by UK/worldwide diplomats.

• an invitation to attend the annual CASE Global Leaders alumni dialogue and reception taking place at the CASE Summit for Leaders in Advancement conference in New York City.
