With this first issue, the League for Innovation in the Community College and The University of Texas at Austin are pleased to announce a new publication, Leadership Abstracts. To be published twice monthly, Leadership Abstracts will be sent without charge to all two-year college chief executive officers in the United States and Canada.

Getting faculty to want to modify how they teach will enable grassroots experimentations to gain traction and inspire systemic change. Yet this process first requires faculty developers to recognize and support the affective dimension of teaching and learning and, in turn, experiment with more human-centered approaches. Expect it to be messy.
