About the Webster University Global Leadership Academy
Now preparing for its sixth year, the Global Leadership Academy (GLA) at Webster University helps build the distributed leadership that is critical to Webster’s success. President Beth Stroble and Provost, Senior Vice President, and Chief Operating Officer Julian Schuster created the Global Leadership Academy to develop talent within the University that is essential for achieving its vision.
The goals of the GLA are to develop and enhance the leadership skills of faculty and staff at Webster University and to provide a comprehensive and grounded understanding of Webster in all its complexity. Each year these goals are advanced as a cohort of fellows study and practice relevant leadership topics in workshop settings, as well as engage in activities designed to complement the curriculum.
The GLA provides a diverse environment with meaningful experiences that help fellows learn and use the tools required to break down barriers and effectively respond to opportunities and challenges facing Webster University.
