Administration in Your Future?

The College is calling for proposals for its new Administrative Fellows Program (AFP)—a competitive appointment intended to promote the development of tenured faculty in the College who show exceptional promise as academic leaders. "Training for academic administration often occurs haphazardly after one has assumed the position, which can make for a very interesting first year on the job," said Dean Olson. Under the Administrative Fellows Program, a faculty member will receive a one-course release, allowing a semester experience as a special assistant to the Dean. This experience will provide the opportunity to learn details of academic administration while working with the Dean and his staff on special projects.

The Dean will select the Administrative Fellow upon the recommendation of an ad hoc committee. Criteria used in evaluating proposals include: evidence or promise of academic leadership; evidence or promise of administrative talent; quality of an "administrative philosophy and goals" statement and a case study analysis prepared by the applicant; and strength of supporting letters. Proposals for the Spring 2005 appointment are due on December 6, 2004.  Applications are available on the College's website: http://www.cas.ilstu.edu/faculty/request.shtm
