ARTS & SCIENCE EMERGING LEADERS ACADEMY (ASELA)
Part of our ongoing efforts to develop a vibrant and inclusive community of leaders, ASELA is a year-long program aimed at developing the leadership potential of faculty in Arts and Science. The program focuses on faculty members who have received tenure recently and those who are up to 7 years post-tenure. Read the FAQ on the program to learn more.
If you are interested in leadership and the future of NYU Arts and Science, I invite you to nominate colleagues to apply and to consider applying yourself. Please nominate colleagues no later than March 1st. Applications are due March 22nd.
