Academic administrators occupy a position that is highly complex
and entails unrelenting demands such as managing heightened
workloads, stretching ever-tightening budgets, and promoting

supply concrete evidence of their accomplishments? The authors of
this practical guide recommend preparing an administrative
portfolio.
