CAPCSD Leadership Series | Fall 2026
Three Sessions. One Transformative Journey.

Leadership in academic programs in communication sciences and disorders is rarely simple — it's dynamic, demanding, and deeply human. Whether you're a seasoned program director or stepping into a leadership role for the first time, the CAPCSD Leadership Series was designed with you in mind. 

This three-part series brings together expert voices to help you lead with greater intention, build the people around you, and navigate the hard moments with confidence and clarity. Across three Thursday evening sessions this fall, you'll gain practical frameworks, compassionate strategies, and the kind of honest conversation that makes good leaders great.
