Rotation Experience
The administrative fellowship offers the flexibility to accommodate the individual’s interests with exposure to a broad range of learning opportunities. The first year of the fellowship consists of required core rotations (one to three months in length). During the second year, responsibilities and assignments are primarily project-oriented. Throughout the duration of the program, the fellow will be exposed to senior-level decision-making processes and participate in team decision making to learn about the interdependent nature of colleges, departments, units, and the enterprise.
