The current director of NUCSLE is Dr. Ron Wideman. NUCSLE
is devoted to the support, promotion, and dissemination of theory and research on values and leadership. NUCSLE is one of a number of program centres that together comprise the Centre for the Study of Leadership and Ethics of the University Council for Educational Administration (UCEA CSLE). These program centres are housed at the following universities: Australian Catholic University Nipissing University Pennsylvania State University Temple University The Hong Kong Institute of Education Umea University, Sweden University of Virginia Specific information about each program centre is available at the UCEA CSLE web site: www.ucea.org/leadership-ethics. UCEA CSLE program centres are encouraged to hold periodic signature events in their home areas. As a relatively new CSLE member centre, NUCSLE held its first signature event on July 18, 2012 between the hours of 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at the North Bay campus, Nipissing University. The 2012 event was well received by participants and their responses have influenced the planners to develop a somewhat larger and more ambitious event for 2013. In 2014 the NUCSLE signature event is being planned a little differently. In response to student and faculty feedback, it is scheduled earlier in the Summer Institute. This year s event will also be a half-day only in light of the related 19 th Annual Leadership & Values Conference being hosted by NUCSLE at Deerhurst, September 18-20, 2014. http://cslee19.nipissingu.ca/
