New2EA Program

Itana New2EA is an immersive program to help higher education professionals lead effective EA practices and build enduring professional networks.

• Global and diverse participation
• Half-day synchronous meet-ups once a month for 8 months
• Small cohort size and rotating triads to connect with colleagues
• Professional mentors assigned to each participant
• Hands-on practical assignments between meet-ups
• No cost professional certification via Educause
• Lead by seasoned leaders with deep experience

The Itana New2EA Program is an 8-month long, no-cost, cohort-based program consisting of multiple half-day sessions and mentoring triads. Work between sessions provides more in-depth learning and enhances learning in the interactive sessions. The program is led by seasoned leaders from several universities and colleges who bring a breadth of experience and perspective. Leader-coaches and mentors will be assigned to support participants on their learning journey.

Course and Curriculum Structure.

A case study will be used throughout the curriculum as a device to engage participants in a realistic architectural engagement.  We will meet monthly in a virtual class for a 4 hour session.  Between sessions, you will work in a triad with your peers on homework assignments and peer coaching sessions.  Once a month, you will meet with your leadership coach who will guide you on your journey.  

Learning Outcomes we expect you to gain:

• What is architecture and what is Architectural Thinking?
• Understanding the Context of your architecture practice
• Leadership Skills and competencies for Architects
• Soft Skills needed by Architects
• Communication Skills used by Architects
• Methods and Tools that are often used by Architects
• Case Studies of success and failure
• AND MORE!

We are excited for our first cohort of the Itana New2EA Program.
