Systems convening is a style of leadership developed by Wenger-Trayner and Wenger-Trayner (2021) that focuses on crossing social and institutional boundaries to facilitate change. Faculty developers are increasingly called on to cross disciplinary and institutional boundaries in their work supporting teaching and learning. A systems convening mindset includes being able to bring people together across boundaries, wanting to make a difference in educational outcomes, knowing the academic landscape, knowing the people to talk to in each silo, and valuing learning as a part of this leadership style (Wenger-Trayner and Wenger-Trayner, 2021). In a case study of 18 faculty developers at a multi-campus research university, we document the developers' approach to their work and evaluate the usefulness of the systems convening mindset in the context of university faculty development. We conclude that approaching faculty development leadership from a systems convening perspective can help developers successfully cultivate the cross-boundary relationships necessary to facilitate communities of change in universities.
