The Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor has announced its annual selection of faculty who will attend two Big Ten Academic Alliance (BTAA) leadership programs this year.
Anne Duncan, associate professor of classics, Department Chair of Classics and Religious Studies, was selected for the Academic Leadership Program. Academic Leadership fellows will attend a virtual welcome session in October, followed by in-person seminars held at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in November, the Big Ten Conference Center in Rosemont, Illinois, in February, and Rutgers University-New Brunswick in April. They will also participate in conversations on campus throughout the academic year learning about leadership and a broad range of topics including community engagement, freedom of expression, challenging conversations, mental health, student success, and the social value of higher education.
The BTAA has a grant from the Mellon Foundation that will provide an enhanced two-year experience to select ALP Fellows within humanities disciplines. Duncan has been selected as the Nebraska ALP-Mellon Fellow for 2024-25 and will participate in additional programming focused on academic leadership in the humanities and complete a mentored project within the EVC Office.
Petronela Radu, Leland J. and Dorothy H. Olson Professor, department chair of Mathematics, was selected for the Department Executive Officers Program. Department Executive Officers Program fellows will attend a hybrid program of online sessions and an in-person event at the Big Ten Conference Center in Rosemont, Illinois. Program topics will cover conflict resolution, mentoring, faculty development, performance reviews, and group problem-solving.
