Thank you for sending this information to tenured faculty in your area. Please also consider nominating a colleague who might benefit from participating in this program. Nomination is as simple as sending me the name of the faculty member you wish to nominate and I will contact them regarding application materials. Self nominations are welcome too!
The University of Kansas Senior Administrative Fellows program is based on the philosophy from the American Council on Education (ACE) fellows, “Few institutions think systematically about the development of administrative leadership. Yet the skills and qualifications necessary for success as a professor are not the same as those required for success as a department chair, dean, or president.” KU has a wealth of talent within its faculty ranks, however, few faculty have the luxury of taking an entire year off to participate in such excellent programs as the ACE Fellows.
To assist faculty who have an interest in or talent for administration, the Office of the Provost coordinates the Senior Administrative Fellows program. This program allows selected faculty to explore senior administration without having to take time away from teaching, service, or research.
Please send your nominations to me as soon as possible, completed applications are due April 10th.
