SUBJECT: Management Fellowship Program
The objective of the Management Fellowship Program is to provide participants with an opportunity to obtain the knowledge, experience, and management skills which will help them compete more effectively for higher level management positions. It is intended to further the career development of minorities and women in management, academic and high level staff positions by establishing mentor relationships and linkages with senior managers and administrators. This program is funded as part of the University of California's employee affirmative action program.
We are pleased to announce that UCSD has received funding for a management fellowship for the 1992-93 year. We expect that the fellowship may begin approximately April 15, 1993 and continue for a period of approximately nine months to one year. The fellowship program this year will be offered in the Business Affairs area under the direction of the Assistant Vice Chancellor -- Personnel.
Working closely with the Assistant Vice Chancellor -- Personnel, for whom the new Payroll Personnel System (PPS) is a major responsibility, and the Payroll Personnel Steering Committee (PPSSC), the Management Fellow will be responsible for developing and managing an overall strategy for the introduction and implementation of a major phase of the new PPS. This responsibility will entail identifying implementation issues as well as approaches and resources to address these; setting standards for documents to be produced on policy, procedures and training; and coordinating PPSSC tasks and priorities. Further, the fellow will be responsible for establishing effective communication channels and assisting in the design of training to achieve a campuswide implementation of the PPS. Thus, knowledge of UCSD's multiple systems, communication and implementation tools, electronic networks, and skills in written communication and project development and management will be important. Full-time career staff employees at or above the Senior Analyst
or equivalent level, and full-time career academic appointees who
would like to move into adminstrative positions, are eligible for
consideration as candidates for the Management Fellowship Program.
The following criteria will be used in evaluating the applicants:
1. Demonstration that the applicant has independently
pursued activities associated with professional development.
2. Applicant's educational background.
3. Applicant's past supervisory and management responsibilities.
4. Applicant's prior work experience, including knowledge
and skills in related functional areas. 5. Applicant's current University position.
6. How the selection of the successful applicant will help
further UCSD's affirmative action goals.
Anyone wishing to learn more about the fellowship may attend an orientation meeting on March 11 1993, at 11:00 a.m., in Gallery A at the Price Center. Those wishing to apply for the fellowship should submit an application to the campus Office of Staff Education and Development, 0922, by March 19, 1993. An application form is attached for your convenience. Any questions should be directed to Lana Brenes, Manager, campus Office of Staff Education and Development, x44890. The awarding of the fellowship to an individual neither explicitly nor implicitly commits the University to place the fellow in a higher level position. However, it is hoped that an applicant successfully completing this fellowship will be prepared more fully to achieve his/her career goals.
I encourage all interested staff to investigate this developmental opportunity. Richard C. Atkinson Chancellor
