5 appointed to the
leadership of the CIC
Academic Leadership Program

The Committee on Institutional Cooperation's Academic Leadership Program has gained five additional Fellows from the Penn State ranks. The CIC is the academic consortium of the Big Ten universities plus the University of Chicago.

Through the leadership program, participants who have demonstrated exceptional ability and administrative promise are aided in further developing their leadership and managerial skills. Those selected from the University for the 2001-02 program have been chosen because of their past contributions and potential to undertake key leadership responsibilities at the University. Participants for 2001-2002 are:

* Peter Alexander, professor of law and elected chair of the Dickinson Faculty in The Dickinson School of Law;

* Edgar Farmer, associate professor of education in the College of Education and director of the Postsecondary Technical and Community College Leadership in the Workforce Education and Development Program;

* Karin Foley, assistant dean in the Eberly College of Science;

* Bonnie MacEwan, 2001-02 Administrative Fellow and assistant dean for collections in the University Libraries; and

* John Moore, chair-elect of the 2001-02 University Faculty Senate and associate professor of English in the College of the Liberal Arts.

The Academic Leadership Program involves the Fellows in a series of three, two-day seminars plus readings and participation in related activities on their home campuses between seminars. The program is specifically geared toward answering the challenges of academic administration at major research universities. Fellows are appointed to terms of one year and funding is provided by participating institutions.
