New Leadership Academy (NLA)
is now accepting applications and nominations for
its 2021-2022 Fellows Program!!

The New Leadership Academy Fellows Program (NLA) is a partnership between the University of Utah and the American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education (AAHHE). NLA was previously hosted by the National Forum on Higher Education for the Public Good (National Forum) at the University of Michigan.

The NLA Fellows Program changes the expectations that surround leaders, leadership, and leadership development across higher education. The fellowship is premised on a recognition that the demographic, democratic, and discursive foundations on which modern higher education has been built are changing. As colleges and universities respond to these environments, leaders will require specialized knowledge and tools - as well as the personal and professional courage to be effective in what clearly are complex and highly contested environments.

The NLA Fellows Program seeks candidates from diverse professional backgrounds and commits to enhance the fellowship experience through actively integrating diverse perspectives and it's recruiting the seventh cohort of NLA Fellows for its 2021-2022 program. There are a limited number of AAHHE partial scholarships available; you'll have an opportunity to indicate your desire for a partial scholarship in the application process.
