Presidential Fellows
The Presidential Fellow Leadership Program is a professional development opportunity for faculty members that provides administrative experience at the highest level within a division at TXST. Fellows gain insight into day-to-day university operations, program development and oversight, and the decision-making process of senior-level university leaders.
This program is individually tailored to the selected Fellows' interests, backgrounds, and expertise. Areas of appointment include Academic Affairs, Finance and Support Services, Information Technology, Marketing and Communications, Research, Student Success, and University Advancement.
Fellows work with a Cabinet Member from one of these areas and are paired with an administrative unit that most closely aligns with their professional aspirations.
