Heather Tarleton Selected for Lilly Network Leadership Institute

Heather Tarleton, professor of Health and Human Sciences and Associate Provost for Faculty Excellence and Mission Integration at Loyola Marymount University, has been selected to participate in the Lilly Network Leadership Institute, a highly competitive national program supporting administrators new to their leadership roles. Tarleton was one of 13 participants chosen from a pool of 27 applicants nationwide.

The Lilly Network Leadership Institute brings together emerging higher education leaders to explore the perspectives, practices, and principles that support effective leadership. Participants engage in a two-year program that includes five conferences, two of which coincide with the Lilly Network Workshop for Senior Administrators, as well as an ongoing mentorship experience that includes opportunities to shadow seasoned leaders.

Tarleton joined LMU in 2012 and has served in a range of academic and administrative roles, including associate dean in Seaver College of Science and Engineering. In her current role, she leads university-wide efforts to support faculty development and engagement, with a focus on inclusive teaching practices, leadership development, and mission integration across the university.
