About the Faculty Fellows Program
The Provost’s Faculty Fellows Program was launched in 2017 under the leadership of Provost Emerita Betsy Hendrey. The Program is modeled on the prestigious American Council on Education fellowship and is designed to mentor and support faculty to learn more about how the institution as a whole functions. Fellows work under the supervision of the Provost and in collaboration with members of the Provost’s and President’s Cabinets, on a year-long project addressing an area of improvement needed at the College. Fellows receive leadership training to supplement their project-specific learning.
The Program’s intent is to bring awareness to how the institution functions, to build productive collaborations between faculty and administration, and to deepen the leadership bench at Queens College. Previous Provost’s Faculty Fellows have gone on to serve in leadership roles in their department, division, the college, the PSC, and CUNY Central.
Applications for each cohort of Provost’s Faculty Fellows open in the spring of the year preceding the start of the Fellowship in the fall.
