The Chancellor’s Leadership Fellowship (CLF) program seeks to cultivate future campus leaders by offering a half-time, one-year temporary appointment to an administrative area on campus, and providing mentoring from the leader of the host unit. In addition, fellows are expected to launch a significant program during their fellowship year. CLF appointments include a 50% teaching release and one month of summer salary.
