Harvard Senior Administrator Fellowships for Executive Education

Harvard is pleased to inaugurate for the academic year of 2017-18, the Harvard Senior Administrator Fellowships for Executive Education. These fellowships will provide opportunities for staff to participate in outstanding professional learning experiences offered throughout the University’s Executive Education and Continuing Education programs, often at no cost*.

Harvard’s Executive Education programs, led and taught by faculty across nine schools, attract organizational and institutional leaders from across the country and around the world to learn from our renowned faculty and each other, while working to solve their own key strategic challenges.

Through the leadership of Harvard’s Executive Education and Continuing Education programs, the Harvard Senior Administrator Fellowships for Executive Education will provide 20 placements for senior administrators in these programs.

Senior level staff at Harvard will have a significant learning and growth opportunity, to join our faculty, and a cohort of international peers who are engaged in leading large, complex organizations. Program topics include leadership, negotiation, management, strategy, and operations. Eligible staff are encouraged to apply for a fellowship in an area of interest that will help advance their thinking and professional practice.
