Program Leaders Forum
In 2019 the DAP Forum series was re-imagined as Program Leaders Forums, with the inclusion of Academic Program Advisors (APA). These events provide an opportunity for Directors of Academic Programs (DAPs) and Academic Program Advisors (ACAs) to meet and discuss strategic and program level matters, network with colleagues and further explore topics of interest.
Both these roles are key academic leadership roles within Schools and provide strategic advice, planning and direction for the suite of programs assigned to the particular role for both staff and students.
If you have any additional questions about the Program Leaders Forums, please contact Gina Saliba (opens in a new window)
