Administrative Development Program
The goal of the Office of the Provost’s Administrative Development Program is to provide senior faculty and staff with an opportunity to broaden their understanding of and experience in higher education administration. Faculty apply directly to the Provost’s Office, whereas staff participate through Learning & Development’s Professional Development Internship Program, with the Provost’s Office as one of many possible internships. The Provost’s Office will select 1 or 2 participants each semester.

- Donald Szeszycki, Associate Vice President and Director of Administration and Planning
- Marcella David, Special Assistant to the President for Equal Opportunity and Associate Provost for Diversity
