Princeton’s goal of building closer ties to other higher education institutions and community colleges is part of our shared commitment to increased access, social mobility, and the power of higher education to advance inclusive economic development and innovation within our state, across the country, and around the world. Our Higher Education Leadership Fellowships offer you the unique opportunity to learn first-hand from senior leaders at various public and private institutions. Based on the popular University Administrative Fellowship program, which provides an opportunity to learn about campus education administrative structures, policies, and strategies through a mentored experience, this new fellowship features exposure to administrative leadership at various types of higher education institutions.

You will receive one-on-one mentoring and coaching while gaining exposure to ways individual institutions fulfill their teaching, research, and social impact missions. You will also gain exposure to organizational dynamics and leadership strategies via shadowing and participating in meetings and/or presentations. The expectation is that the fellowship will be mutually beneficial and host institutions will benefit from the diverse ideas of graduate students in conjunction with meaningful project deliverables that address institutional and community goals while framing regional, national and global education challenges.
