Webinar: Passing it On: Leading an iSchool – Lessons Learned
"Passing It On" is a professional development webinar series created by long-time members of ASIS&T to share their hard-earned insights with mid-to-late career professionals. Moderated by ASIS&T Board President, Ian Ruthven, each session dives into topics that matter most at the mid to later stage of the career journey—whether it’s how to lead an iSchool, salary and condition negotiations, or even how to plan a case for promotion.
Rooted in real-world experience, this series is about more than advice—it’s about building a bridge between generations of information professionals. Join us as we pass on the lessons, strategies, and stories that help shape resilient, empowered careers.
Our first webinar in this series is about leading an iSchool. Heidi Julien will share her leadership philosophy and lessons learned in multiple leadership roles. Aiming for “principled pragmatism”, her starting point is servant leadership, an approach focused on facilitating faculty and staff to reach their full potential.
