The Institute for the Arts and Humanities is pleased to announce the 2023-2024 cohort of Academic Leadership Fellows. The eight Fellows hail from several departments in the College of Arts and Sciences and four of the University’s professional schools.
The Institute helps prepare and support current and emerging academic leaders through the Tyson Academic Leadership Program. Fellows engage in a series of activities to help them develop leadership capacities, clarify their career commitments, build a leadership network within the campus community, and extend their contacts to other leaders beyond the University.
The cohort will meet weekly in spring 2024 in seminars led by Program Director Viji Sathy and Senior Leadership Advisor Rob Kramer.
