Welcome

ABOUT AHDP

MEMBERSHIP

AHDP members support each other through conference sessions and listserv discussion on topics such as:

  • Improving program assessment procedures

  • Innovative curriculum

  • Promoting diversity

  • Developing academic leadership skills

  • Strategic planning

  • Administering budgets

  • Managing conflict

  • Preparing students for success

  • And many other topics

Many chairs who have joined our organization have commented one of the most valuable aspects of AHDP membership is knowing that other chairs face similar challenges. AHDP members share strategies that have worked, consult with each other on trends and practices, and stay up to date on what other institutions are doing.
