Four From University of Arkansas Chosen as SEC Academic Leadership Development Fellows
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Four faculty members at the University of Arkansas have been selected as a 2014-15 SEC Academic Leadership Development Program fellows.
The SEC Academic Leadership Development Program is a professional development program that seeks to identify, prepare and advance academic leaders for roles within Southeastern Conference institutions and beyond.
The program has two components: a university-level development program designed by each institution for its own participants and two, three-day, SEC-wide workshops held on specified campuses for all program participants.
Representing the U of A as fellows are:
- Micah Hale, associate department head, civil engineering
- Bart Hammig, department chair, health, human performance and recreation
- Cynthia Sagers, associate vice provost for research and economic development and professor, biological sciences
- Kathryn Sloan, department chair, history
Overall, 47 faculty and administrators from SEC universities were chosen as 2014-15 SEC Academic Leadership Development Program fellows, the conference announced earlier this month.
Since its inception in 2008, the fellowship program has graduated more than 230 faculty and academic administrators and program alumni have become deans and provosts at universities around the SEC and United States, including Laurence Alexander from the University of Florida’s 2012-13 cohort, who is currently chancellor at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff.
The SEC Academic Leadership Development Program is part of SECU, the academic initiative of the SEC. SECU serves as the primary mechanism through which the collaborative academic endeavors and achievements of SEC universities are promoted and advanced.
