An initiative designed to provide participants with an in-depth exposure to University administration and policy-making, the President’s Fellowship Program provides mentoring, networking, research opportunities, university service and guidance in preparation for career advancement for emerging leaders.
Open to all full-time employees who have been at the University a minimum of three years, the program lasts from October to April. Applicants may nominate themselves or be nominated by a co-worker. Each fellow completes a service project that will improve TSU or the surrounding community; the fellow also collaborates with a campus administrator as a mentor. At the culmination of the program, fellows make a presentation about their projects.
“One of the University’s goals is to prepare our students to navigate the global marketplace. In order to facilitate this goal, it is essential that we cultivate our employees to bring innovative ideas, services and programs to our students. The President’s Fellowship Program equips outstanding employees with more tools and knowledge to better serve TSU and the surrounding community,” said Sandra Keith, director of equity, diversity and compliance, who leads the program.
