The United Board Fellows Program offers an opportunity for mid-level faculty and administrators selected for leadership positions by their home institutions to work with mentors in the United States and Asia over a two-year period. Fellows spend one semester in residence at a host university in Asia, and one semester at a host institution in the United States. Since 2002, over 110 Fellows have benefited from the program.
In each host institution, with the assistance of a mentor, Fellows have opportunities to:
|
- learn about styles of leadership, organizational structure, and educational management;
- learn alternative pedagogical styles to enrich their own teaching; and
- learn the latest in their field by auditing classes, meeting with their mentors and colleagues, and teaching occasional classes.

Fellows also participate in two leadership seminars during the summers, mid-way through and at the end of the program. These seminars, held at universities in Asia, provide an opportunity for Fellows to meet each other and develop sustaining networks. They also provide a forum for discussion of issues related to leadership.
Fellows are selected for their academic and teaching excellence as well as their leadership potential. They should be proficient in spoken and written English. All scholars must be nominated by their home institutions. Qualified nominees are interviewed by United Board representatives and selected on a competitive basis.
Nominations and applications for the 2012-2014 United Board Fellows Program are now closed. Please read the nomination materials and program brochure.
