OVERVIEW

What happens when library directors go into closed-door sessions with other library directors in order to learn from successes and address daunting challenges? You have the 2022 Snezek Library Leadership Institute, held July 13th – 15th at Corban University in Salem, Oregon

The Institute is a unique, intensive, in-person experience for library leaders who value collaboration, confidentiality, and collegiality as they advance the conversations on the most pressing dynamics within libraries at CCCU institutions. 

This year’s focus will equip library leaders to align library operations with institutional priorities and develop compelling conversation strategies to effectively advocate for libraries and institutional flourishing.

Participation is limited to current library deans/directors and university librarians at CCCU-member institutions. Associate or assistant library deans/directors are also invited to attend. 

When you arrive on campus for the Institute, you will participate in extended conversations with your library dean/director colleagues along with subject experts outside librarianship. Workshops will include best practices as well as opportunities to integrate insights in hands-on exercises where you will craft updates to your library documents and even practice your library advocacy elevator speech. Deliberative conversations will continue in an excursus to a nearby state park (and on an optional, Friday afternoon/evening trip to the Oregon coast). These individualized exercises and deep-dive conversations require the time and focus that is not easily undertaken on Zoom and thus are limited to in-person participation. 

Snezek Library Leadership Institute is also offering a webinar series (separate registration forthcoming) as well as water cooler gatherings for CCCU library deans/directors. These virtual activities will provide monthly professional development opportunities throughout the year.

COVID-19 Protocols

Testing/Vaccination Policy

The CCCU is constantly monitoring CDC guidelines. We are living in a new reality, and we think we can navigate that reality together.

Currently, the CCCU is requesting that attendees at the Institute be fully vaccinated or have a negative COVID test 1-3 business days prior to arrival. This policy is subject to change. An individual can be considered fully vaccinated 14 days after completion of a COVID-19 vaccination series (after the second dose of a 2-dose series, or after one dose of a single-dose vaccine).
