Dr. Joy Goto, interim dean of the Division of Research and Graduate Studies at Fresno State, is one of 22 senior-level higher education professionals selected to participate in the 2022 Millennium Leadership Initiative, a leadership development program of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities.

The program provides individuals who are traditionally underrepresented in the highest ranks of postsecondary education with the opportunity to develop skills, gain a philosophical overview and build the network and knowledge needed to advance to a presidency position.

Since its inception 23 years ago, 694 participants have graduated from the institute. One-fifth of graduates have become a president or chancellor, and more than one-third have advanced significantly to other leadership positions within higher education, including at the state level.
