The Academic Leadership Development Program (ALDP), established by the Southeastern Conference Academic Consortium (SECAC) in 2007, is designed to help develop the leadership skills of tenured faculty on SEC campuses who have demonstrated exceptional ability and leadership promise. The ALDP mission is to identify, develop, prepare, and advance faculty as academic leaders in and for the SEC universities.
