The BHHS is launching an inaugural Leadership Fellows Program. We are seeking faculty who have an interest in becoming administrative leaders in our human sciences fields and would welcome the opportunity to work closely with the BHHS, its leaders, and its members in developing their administrative leadership skills.
Selected fellows will be awarded up to $3000 to support their projects and will be assigned mentors to support their activities as fellows. Project funds (including travel stipends) will be awarded to the fellows for a period of one year, to begin immediately following the BHHS annual meeting and to culminate in attending and presenting at the following BHHS annual meeting. Two cohorts of fellows will collaborate to plan an annual leadership development conference to begin in 2023 and coincide with the BHHS annual meeting.
View the fellowship brochure for more information. Applications for the second cohort are closed.
