University of Massachusetts Amherst’s Office Of Faculty Development Announces Chancellor’s Leadership Fellowship Recipients For 2023-24

The Office of Faculty Development has announced the recipients of the 2023-24 Chancellor’s Leadership Fellowships.

The Chancellor’s Leadership Fellowship (CLF) program seeks to cultivate future campus leaders by offering a half-time, one-year temporary appointment to an administrative area on campus and providing mentoring from the leader of the host unit. In addition, fellows are expected to launch a significant program during their fellowship year.

The faculty members awarded Chancellor’s Leadership Fellowships within Academic Affairs for the 2023-24 academic year are:

Emily Heaphy, associate professor of management, Isenberg School of Management
Sindiso MnisiWeeks, associate professor of legal studies, College of Social and Behavioral Sciences
Bogdan Prokopovych, senior lecturer of management, Isenberg School of Management
Grant Wilson, professor of astronomy, College of Natural Sciences
Ximena Zúñiga, professor of student development, College of Education
“The Chancellor’s Leadership Fellows program provides an opportunity for faculty to expand their leadership development by advancing a project in an area of particular interest to them and benefit to the campus,” explains Provost and Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Tricia Serio. “I am looking forward to collaborating with them in the coming year.”

The CLF nomination and application process commences annually in January. Full-time tenured faculty, senior lecturers and librarians on continuing appointments are eligible for the fellowship which is administered by the Office of Faculty Development.
