LUTSA has been shared with other universities at conferences and research regarding the success of the program will appear in the 2017 Southern Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admission Officers Journal.

The cohort meets once a month September through April.

Following a peer selection process, participants have the opportunity to serve on the leadership team the following year for the next LUTSA cohort.

Alumni of the program have achieved success after LUTSA as ACE Fellows, Department Chairs, Deans, Directors and Associate Vice Presidents. In addition to career advancement, participants leave with an increased awareness of their leadership potential and a better understanding of their university and their colleagues within it.
