We are excited to continue this initiative and invite departments to apply for the 2026 鈥淟eadership Starts With Me鈥� Visiting Professorship. The 鈥淟eadership Starts With Me鈥� Visiting Professorship is a new, annual initiative sponsored by the Office of Faculty Affairs and Leadership Development (FALD). This program is designed to bring distinguished leaders to our campus to share valuable insights on leadership in academic medicine. Departments will have the ability to select their own visiting professor, and FALD will co-sponsor the event and contribute to honorarium, travel, and event expenses. If your department is interested in applying for this opportunity, look for the application announcement in Vital Signs and in FALD emails and newsletters. Please reach out to Carrie Jackman-Hoyle at carrie_hoyle@med.unc.edu.
Let鈥檚 continue fostering leadership excellence together!
