Academic Deans, Associate Deans, and Department Chairs are invited to nominate individuals for an ADLP Fellowship. Faculty may also submit their own self-nominations by completing the application on their own. To be eligible, a nominee must be a tenured faculty member, and most fellows are in the early stages or contemplating a leadership role. Nominees are expected to possess strong leadership capacities as well as an outstanding record of achievement in their current and past positions, along with an expressed interest in administrative service.

• The nomination must take the form of a letter, no more than two pages, that describes the leadership qualities of the nominee and elaborates upon his or her contributions to the academic department, unit or division. All who are nominated will be asked to apply. 
• The deadline for submitting nominations for the 2025-2026 cohort is June 1, 2025.

The Office of the Provost will review all nominating letters and applications and select three to four Miami fellows.

Decisions will be announced by the start of the fall semester.

Each fall semester, the Fellow will have the opportunity to meet with the other Miami Fellows and the Associate Provost every 3-4 weeks to discuss relevant professional literature. The spring semester will be devoted to designing and submitting a leadership portfolio and meeting monthly with the associate provost and/or other Fellows. The portfolio will include several leadership artifacts, including a statement of the Fellow's leadership philosophy, C.V., leadership goals as well as reflections on the MAC Workshops. The goal of the portfolio is to assist the Fellow to reflect and gain insight into his or her future leadership goals. The MAC-ALDP Liaisons (who are upper level administrators in other MAC institutions) will provide input on the Fellows' portfolios.

In addition, all Fellows are required to attend the scheduled MAC ALDP Workshops. These workshops are hosted by MAC institutions and will follow a format designed to maximize interaction among the Fellows. Case studies, group discussions and other group activities will be incorporated into the Workshops.

Questions regarding the Academic Leadership Development Program should be directed to Elise Radina, Associate Provost, radiname@miamioh.edu,

• Email completed applications to Elise Radina, Associate Provost, radiname@MiamiOH.edu. Nominations may also be sent to this email address.
