IU McKinney Professor Carrie Hagan has been named to the latest cohort of IUPUI’s Next Generation 2.0 leadership development program. She joins seven other faculty members and 10 members of the university’s staff.

Professor Hagan is the director of experiential learning and associate clinical professor of law at IU McKinney. She is the director of the law school’s Civil Practice Clinic, which has become known for its expertise in the area of expungement. At IU McKinney, in addition to being a Dean’s fellow in recognition of excellence in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018, she won the Black Cane award for Best Professor in 2017, was selected as a veteran faculty recipient of a 2018 Women's History Month Women's Leadership Award; received a 2019 Champion of Diversity award; and was a recipient of a Trustee’s Teaching Award in 2013.

The cohort will begin with an orientation in August and then start a nine-month curriculum in September that focuses on developing leadership skills and understanding contemporary issues in higher education. Participants will also have the opportunity to identify, plan and implement a capstone project, either individually or in a group, that responds to an identified need of their department, the IUPUI campus or the Indianapolis community.

IUPUI Next Generation 2.0 was renewed in 2015 with the help of Dean Karen Bravo. Lauren Peña, ’13, was named to the sixth cohort of the program during the 2020-2021 academic year. Professor Yvonne Dutton was in the third cohort of the program during the 2017-2018 academic year. Professor Shawn Boyne, who is currently the director of Academic Quality and Undergraduate Education at Iowa State University, was part of the first cohort during the 2015-2016 academic year.
