Applications due Friday, April 24

The Office of the Provost is pleased to announce that the Public Affairs theme for the 2016–2017 academic year will be Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness: Perspectives on Democracy. In order to allow for better planning and preparation, we have selected the theme early and are now accepting nominations and applications for the Provost Fellow for Public Affairs for 2016–2017. The selected Fellow will “shadow” Provost Fellow, Dr. Elizabeth Dudash-Buskirk, in order to better understand the planning process of the Public Affairs Conference.

The Office of the Provost welcomes applications and nominations for a Provost Fellow who will be responsible for refining this theme, developing and promoting related activities and serve as the chair of the 2017 Public Affairs Conference. The person selected will receive a one course reassignment per semester (total of 6 hours) and an $8,000 stipend. Although the appointment will be for one year, the person selected will be asked to shadow the 2015–2016 Provost Fellow in order to gain an understanding of the full responsibilities of the position.

Individuals wishing to be considered for this position should submit a CV and letter of interest outlining their experience, skills and ideas to Dr. Rachelle Darabi, Associate Provost for Student Development and Public Affairs no later than 5:00 p.m., Friday, April 24. Questions concerning this position should be directed to Dr. Rachelle Darabi.
