NOVEMBER 17, 2022 — UTSA Academic Affairs has announced its 2022–2023 Advancing Next-Gen Faculty Leadership Fellows. Now in its fourth year, the fellowship program is designed to train and develop a new generation of diverse academic leaders at UTSA.

With an emphasis on mentorship, shadowing and one-on-one training, the one-year fellowships are personalized to meet the specific needs and professional goals of each faculty member who participates in the program. Fellows learn about the organizational structure and operations of academia, gain the skills and qualities needed to be an effective academic leader and acquire a better understanding of current and future challenges in higher education. 

The fellows also work with the vice presidents and vice provosts of various offices across the university, applying their new leadership knowledge to complete a special project in that area in collaboration with their mentor.
