The Heinz School Announces the Establishment of the Dean's Leadership Fellows Program

Application Deadline:  September 22, 2006

In order to recognize the leadership achievements of Heinz School students, Dean Mark Wessel has announced the establishment of the Dean’s Leadership Fellows Program.  The program will provide opportunities for up to 10 students enrolled in any of the Heinz School's programs to further develop their skills, interact with leaders, and contribute to the development of leadership programming at the Heinz School.

"Leadership is a much needed skill in the world today – especially for our students who hope to make an impact on the public interest," notes Dean Wessel.  "These ten fellows will represent some of our most promising students.  I look forward to the chance to work and interact with them in the coming year on projects that reach out to the entire community."

Students enrolled in any of the Heinz School's programs, including the ISM programs, are eligible to apply.   The deadline for applications is September 22, 2006 and fellows will be announced by mid-October.

The Fellows program is just one of several new initiatives on leadership being planned for this fall.  Other programs in the works include a Leadership Lecture Series, a Social Innovation and Leadership Competition and a new course on leadership.  For more information, please go to: www.heinz.cmu.edu/leadership.
