Applications are being sought for the Administrative Fellows Program for 2022-23. The program offers Penn State faculty and staff the opportunity to work with senior University officers to gain insight pertaining to the challenges of leadership in the academic community. Applicants must be full-time tenure-line and term non-tenure line faculty (who hold appointments of five years or longer) and no term faculty and regular staff employees who have held appointments of five years or longer.
The program enables participants to strengthen their administrative talents and qualifications by working with a Penn State administrator in a mentoring relationship. Fellows increase their understanding of the contexts within which decisions are made and gain an enhanced understanding of the various units across the University.
Mentors for the 2022-23 academic year will be Nicholas Jones, executive vice president and provost; Yvonne Gaudelius, vice president and dean for Undergraduate Education; and Lorraine Goffe, vice president for Human Resources and chief human resources officer. The program begins in early August and ends the following July.
An informational meeting has been scheduled from 11 a.m. to noon Monday, Nov. 8 via Zoom. The meeting is for those interested in the program and is designed to allow past fellows to field questions from prospective fellows. anyone interested in attending this meeting, should RSVP to Wendy Blumenthal on or before Thursday, Nov. 4, by email at wjy100@psu.edu.
