Welcome to this website dedicated to providing resources for academic department chairs. The intent is to provide easy access to documents such as policies, procedures, resources, calendar information, and forms required in the work of chairs.

The position of department chair is critical to the effectiveness of NKU, the faculty, the students, and the community. NKU is very fortunate to have extraordinarily talented, dedicated and effective chairs. This website will be considered successful if it is useful to chairs by saving time, avoiding the frustration of searches, and otherwise assists with the accomplishment of the many responsibilities delegated to them. Please help us keep the site up-to-date and comprehensive by sending any comments or suggestions for improvement to Mary Ryan.

I would like to acknowledge with gratitude the Task Force for Support of Chairs for their vision in recommending the creation of this site, and offer thanks to all of those who offered input or suggestions for inclusion in this important site
