Dear colleagues:
The Office of the President is seeking nominations for the 2020-21 President’s Executive Leadership Program (PELP). The program is designed for senior-level administrators and members of the faculty who have high potential and interest in leadership roles at one of the universities or at the system level. Participants attend four seminars over the course of the academic year to explore national and state issues related to higher education and to learn about the U of I System and its three universities. The one-year program begins in September and runs through the following May. A brief overview of the program and the four seminars can be found at https://www.uillinois.edu/cms/One.aspx?portalId=1324&pageId=837092.
To nominate an individual, please complete the online form by June 30, 2020 at https://forms.illinois.edu/sec/8297330. Nominees will be contacted by my office and asked to complete an application form as part of the selection process.
If you have questions about the program, please contact me (bjwilson@uillinois.edu) or Sarah Zehr (szehr@uillinois.edu). Thanks much for your thoughtful consideration of nominations for this program.
Best,
Barb Wilson
Executive Vice President and Vice President for Academic Affairs
