HARVARD GAZETTE ARCHIVES Fourteen 1998-99 Administrative Fellows Named University-wide program offers minority professionals one-year work experience in academic administration
Fourteen new fellows have been selected for the 1998-99 Administrative Fellowship Program.
The Administrative Fellowship Program began its year with a two-day orientation held at the Faculty Club in September. President Neil L. Rudenstine and Elizabeth Huidekoper, vice president for finance, were present to welcome the new fellows.
The University-wide program, now entering its 10th year, provides an opportunity for minority professionals to come to the Harvard community for a one-year work experience in academic administration.
The program is supplemented with seminars and case studies on academic administration presented by deans, vice presidents, major office directors, and faculty at the University. The goals of the program include enhancing the fellows' administrative and professional skills and clarifying their career objectives.
This year's fellows have accepted positions at the Graduate School of Design, the School of Public Health, the Harvard Native American Programs, the Graduate School of Education, the Medical School's Minority Faculty Development Program and Oliver Wendell Holmes Society, the Office of Human Resources, the Benefit Services Group, and the Kennedy School of Government.
