Welcome to the Department of Educational Leadership & Policy Studies!

Our department is a vibrant intellectual community which values diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our faculty are intellectual leaders in the fields of educational leadership, education law and policy, higher education and student affairs, international and comparative education, and social foundations. Our graduates and alumni are leaders in their chosen disciplines. Together, we strive to address the most pressing educational challenges in the United States and around the globe with an eye toward improvement and innovation.

As chair, my role is to work with faculty to champion a culture of shared governance, facilitate responsive administrative support with our department staff, and to advocate for our programs and students. I invite and encourage you to contact me or one of our department staff via elps@indiana.edu. We are here to support you.

Thank you for your interest in our department.
