New Staff Fellows announced

LAWRENCE — Provost Jeff Vitter and Associate Vice Provost Mike Rounds have announced the 2014-15 class of Staff Fellows. The program, now in its seventh year, is jointly coordinated by the Office of the Provost and Human Resource Management. Applications were accepted in September, and 15 new fellows have been named. 

The purpose of the Staff Fellows Program is to make KU a stronger institution by providing opportunities to take part in a structured program of professional development that includes skill and leadership development, and the opportunity to gain broader knowledge of the university. The program also provides the opportunity to work with a mentor to broaden the knowledge and experience of each Staff Fellow.     

Staff Fellows work together during the academic year on a project with campus-wide relevance. For more information visit the Provost’s website.
