Academic Administration
The Office of Academic Administration fosters a student-centered educational environment and empowering future leaders through transformative curricular experiences.
Through visionary leadership, policy development, and support for faculty and staff, we support academic programs and promote innovation, equity, and collaboration—preparing learners to reach their fullest potential and make meaningful contributions to their communities and the world, while deepening ESF’s global engagement and commitment to a better future. We champion a culture of learning, discovery, and inclusion by collaborating as partners to facilitate academic progress and success for students, faculty, professionals, and the community
