Senior administrative fellows named; new Staff Fellows Program started
Six faculty members have been named senior administrative fellows for 2007-08, and a new sSaff Fellows Program has been initiated. Senior administrative fellows are: Lori Messinger, social welfare; Nancy Muma, pharmacy; Garth Myers, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; David Perlmutter, journalism; Chris Petr, social welfare; and Michael Vitevitch, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The Staff Fellows Program is coordinated by the Office of the Provost and is modeled after the successful Faculty Senior Administrative Fellows program, now in its 15th year. The program allows selected Lawrence campus staff the opportunity to explore higher education administration during regular work hours.

A group of eight to 10 staff fellows who have been employed by KU for two or more years will be selected from applications to work together for approximately four hours per month during the academic year. A portion of the time will be spent exploring various aspects of the larger administrative structure at KU. A large part of the program will be devoted to working in small groups on individual projects of interest that will benefit the staff member's unit.
There is no stipend for the experience, and the applicant's supervisor will be asked to make a recommendation for participation and to allow release time to participate. The program is primarily for professional development. There is no expectation that staff fellows will be given preference in job searches at KU.
Under the direction of Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, senior vice provost for academic affairs, the program allows selected faculty the opportunity to explore senior administration through meeting with senior administrators, visiting administrative units across campus and discussing national trends in higher education.
The current fellows are Dorice Elliott, Cheryl Lester, Eve Levin, Edward Morris and John Staniunas from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and Stacy Leeds from law.
