President's Fellows Program

About

The UNLV President’s Fellows Program is a leadership development initiative designed to create a new pathway for faculty members to partner with the President’s office and acquire high-level administrative experience while working on strategic initiatives of interest to the central university leadership.

A key goal of the initiative is to provide leadership development opportunities to faculty members who show promise for institutional leadership but may have limited prior experience in administrative roles.  The program is intended to continually bring diverse voices into the administration’s decision-making and improve shared governance by allowing more people to be involved in university administration.

Objectives

  • Provide emerging leaders at UNLV the opportunity to gain senior-level administrative experience to prepare them for leadership roles
  • Increase the diversity of perspectives and ideas within the university administration
  • Advance critical university initiatives through sustained administrative support from program participants
