Hoos Managing the U.Va. Way

Management Development Program Announcment

Announcing an exciting management development opportunity from University Human Resources!

Hoos Managing the U.Va. Way is a seminar-based learning experience that teaches solid University management principles and how to apply these principles to daily managerial decision-making at U.Va.

Management development is a key means of strengthening the present leadership team at U.Va. while building a foundation for the future. President Casteen and the entire senior leadership team endorse and support this effort towards the continued development of our many talented and motivated leaders and managers.

The program is for university managers with two to five years of management experience. To be eligible, managers must have completed at least two years of managerial service at the University and be nominated by his/her supervisor (nominees should be performing at or above expectations). Participation is free!

The program is designed to develop managerial decision-making skills, increase effectiveness with workplace challenges, and navigate changing strategic and operational priorities. U.Va. managers will apply critical thinking and decision-making in actual case studies in the four functional areas listed below:
  • Financial Management & Budgeting at U.Va.
  • Human Resources Management
  • Infrastructure Management (Facilities Management, IT, Risk Management)
  • Management of External Constituencies (Parents, Press, Students)
Leaders from each of these areas within U.Va. will facilitate sessions and provide skills that can be easily used with on-the-job challenges. Active participation through small group exercises, case studies, and on-the-job assignments will engage participants in the application of relevant and pragmatic managerial skills.

Hoos Managing the U.Va. Way will begin in the spring of 2009. The program consists of eight class sessions typically scheduled from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm at The Darden School of Business. Lunch will be provided.
