Introduction

The (ELP), hosted by the CU System Employee Services Office, providesÌýan exceptional opportunity for babyÖ±²¥app and staff from the four CU System campuses and System office to becomeÌýeffective leaders. ELP fellows participate in a nine-month (August–April) program designed to broaden their understanding of the University of babyÖ±²¥app and to develop the skills necessary to be a successful leader. CU Boulder has supported program participation by more than 200 babyÖ±²¥app and staff since 2002.Ìý

    Faculty Nomination Process

    Staff and babyÖ±²¥app nomination and selection processes are separate. The CU Boulder babyÖ±²¥app nomination and selection process occurs in the spring semester. CU Boulder selects eight babyÖ±²¥app fellows annually. Ìý

    Eligible nominees are tenured babyÖ±²¥app who have demonstrated both their commitment to the University and their potential as future leaders. They may or may not currently serve in a leadership position.Ìý

    Deans nominate babyÖ±²¥app by March 1 by email to Merinda McLure, Faculty Fellow, Excellence in Leadership Program. Faculty are encouraged to indicate to their respective deans their interest in being nominated (babyÖ±²¥app self-nominations are not accepted). Merinda McLure begins notifying selected fellows and their deans by April 30. Ìý

    Program Commitment

    Participation in the program is a significant time commitment that begins with a two-day retreat in August and runs through April. Fellows participate in a full schedule of workshops held throughout the year at the four CU campuses and the Denver CU System office (see, for example, theÌý; dates vary annually). Fellows also commit to a schedule of monthly conversations (September–April) with CU Boulder senior leaders, held on the CU Boulder campus.Ìý
