Dear Fellows,
We are currently seeking applicants for Harvard University's 2006-2007
Administrative Fellowship Program. As you know, the Program, now in its
seventeenth year of operation, will begin in September 2006.
The
Administrative Fellowship Program offers a twelve-month management
experience complemented by a professional development program. In
particular, the Program provides participants with specific opportunities
to broaden their experience as mid-level administrators by working in
Harvard's dynamic academic environment. In the end, the Program seeks to
enrich and diversify the field of higher education and the growing Harvard
community by increasing the pool of trained administrators with more
individuals drawn from underrepresented ethnic minority groups as well as
individuals who are committed to addressing the underrepresentation of
ethnic minorities as academic administrators.
Each participant receives a stipend with all costs for the required
educational seminar series covered by the University. However,
participants must secure and cover the cost of their housing. Fellows will
participate in a seminar series in addition to a full-time work
assignment. Seminars, lectures, and case studies have been designed to
enhance management and administrative skills and to assist in
self-assessment and development. The overall goal of the education program
is to encourage Fellows to assess their own career development and to
generate strategies for advancement.
Applicants must have a bachelors degree and at least five years of
professional work experience. The evaluation of applications will be based
on professional and academic achievement, a written statement of purpose,
and three letters of recommendation. The final selection of Fellows will
be based on interviews with the sponsoring Harvard schools and departments
and suitability for the Program. The application deadline is February 10,
2006.
Please help us develop the strongest pool of applicants by identifying
individuals whom could be valuable members of our fellowship program. You
can pass on the enclosed brochure (download listed below) and application or refer candidates to
our website at Administrative Fellowship Program for additional information about
the Program.
With your support, we look forward to attracting a group of diverse and
interesting candidates. If you have any questions, please feel free to
contact me. We greatly appreciate your cooperation. And Happy 2006!
