  invited to attend. \n\nLeadership and Instructional Practice\n\nChair: Dr
 . Jessica N. Taylor\n\nAbstract:\n\nWithin the last decade\, Cleveland Sta
 te Community College has gone through many changes\, including transitioni
 ng between five different administrations from 2021 to 2025. With this cha
 nge in administration\, there have been many different philosophies of how
  professional development should be handled at the college. The priority o
 f professional development has shifted between very high and very low\, an
 d the ownership of active initiatives was unclear. Recently\, college admi
 nistrators have implemented a program intended to allow PD at the college 
 to have more structure and visibility within the employee community. Liter
 ature in both Higher education and other industries discusses the importan
 ce of professional development (Cruz\, 2018\; Danvila-del-Valle et al.\, 2
 019\; Maier\, 2022). It is imperative that the processes related to adult 
 learning are integrated into any workplace in order to get the most out of
  the workforce (Brieger et al.\, 2020\; Bui et al.\, 2021\; De Matas & Kee
 gan\, 2020\; Lee et al.\, 2022). While higher education is used to working
  with student learning\, it is important to look toward other industries f
 or training processes (Donovan et al.\, 2023\; Reynolds & Dolasinski\, 201
 9). Throughout this research\, qualitative and quantitative data were used
  to determine the effectiveness of the professional development program at
  Cleveland State. The data indicate that the program is mostly meeting the
  stated outcomes. Employees are learning\, developing\, and maintaining po
 sitive relationships throughout the course of their work. The evaluation r
 esults suggest that while the program is mostly effective\, there are area
 s in which college administrators can focus to continue to improve the pro
 gram.
