Faculty selected for Academic Leadership Program

Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs Paul N. Courant has named five professors as fellows in the Committee on Institutional Cooperation's (CIC) Academic Leadership Program for the 2004-05 academic year.

They are:

• Susan A. Gelman, associate dean for social sciences in LSA and the Frederick G. L. Huetwell Professor of Psychology

• Robert E. Megginson, associate dean for undergraduate and graduate education in LSA and professor of mathematics

• Martin A. Philbert, senior associate dean for research and professor of toxicology in the School of Public Health

• Tresa M. Pollock, professor of materials science and engineering

• Lynda S. Welage, associate dean for academic affairs and professor of clinical sciences in the College of Pharmacy

The CIC, an academic consortium of Big Ten universities and the University of Chicago, established the Academic Leadership Program in 1989 to help selected faculty on its member campuses develop their leadership and managerial skills.

Each year on a rotating basis, CIC member institutions host a series of three two-day seminars on the themes of leadership and human resources, long-range planning and budgeting, and motivating change at public research universities.

This year's fellows, who were nominated for the program by their deans, will attend seminars at the University of Iowa, the University of Illinois at Chicago, and the University of Minnesota. Assistant Provost Glenda Haskell is the program's institutional liaison for
U-M.
