A Message from Scott Chadwick, PhD, Vice President for Academic Affairs
In an effort to develop administrative talent from within the college while not increasing administrative positions on a permanent basis, I have initiated a Senior Administrative Fellows program.

Senior Administrative Fellows will be senior faculty members who have special skills needed by the college in a timely way. These Fellows may also be interested in testing out administrative work in a way that does not commit them to abandon their teaching positions. Fellows will have teaching responsibilities in their home departments but will report directly to me in their Fellows role and I will serve as a mentor to them, as well. These positions are partly developmental but, given the importance of the work attended to, they are also configured as senior-level administrative positions comparable to those of a Dean or an Associate Vice President.
I have approached a number of faculty about participating in this program. For the upcoming year, I am pleased to announce that two senior faculty members have accepted Senior Administrative Fellow appointments for the 2010-2011 academic year. John Dahlberg, PhD will be adding his expertise to the institution’s advertising planning and creation efforts. Leonid Khinkis, PhD will be focusing on market and financial aid analysis, new program development, and increasing grant funding for the college.
As we move forward, I know other issues will arise that will fit well with the Senior Administrative Fellow program. If you have interest in participating in the future, please let me know at chadwics@canisius.edu.
