Susan Bulkeley Butler Center for Leadership Excellence
The Susan Bulkeley Butler Center for Leadership Excellence serves as a catalyst for cultivating purposeful, grounded, and resilient leadership in higher education. Through research support, educational programming, and interactive workshops, the Center equips both emerging and experienced leaders with tools to navigate the evolving demands of academic life. As higher education faces increasing complexity, change, and competing demands, the Center offers space for reflection, growth, and connection to strengthen leadership at every level.
Rooted in the vision of Susan Bulkeley Butler, the Center places a special emphasis on supporting women who are seeking to grow as leaders in their academic and professional journeys. Housed within the Office of Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs, the Center's core programming is dedicated to faculty development and mentoring. By nurturing a positive, welcoming community for everyone, the Center helps individuals and academic communities build a foundation to thrive together - live and work with a deep sense of wholeness, purpose, and belonging.
