The Susan Vogt Leadership Fellows Program
September 2013 – May 2014



The Susan Vogt Leadership Fellows Program honors the remarkable work and spirit of Susan Vogt, Vice President of Finance and Treasurer at Wellesley College from 2000 to 2003. The Fellowship carries on her legacy by connecting, developing, and supporting emerging leaders within the schools of The Boston Consortium. The Fellowship seeks to increase awareness of the Consortium's values and activities at the grassroots level, connect and engage practitioners in meaningful projects, and foster collaboration and camaraderie in the next generation of leaders.

Program Benefits

Vogt Fellows will have excellent opportunities for development and networking. They will be able to develop their leadership and reflection skills through self-assessment and a collaborative final project. Along the way, they will build a peer-advising and coaching network that can last well beyond the Fellowship year. Fellows will develop personal learning plans to guide them and will avail themselves of Fellowship sponsors who will support them in accomplishing their goals. To further their development, each Fellow will be paired with an executive coach.

Colleges and Universities will enjoy numerous benefits from their participation in the Vogt Leadership Fellows Program, including the ability to:

• foster employee capacity to lead effective and meaningful local change
• initiate an important change project at their school
• retain and reinvigorate highly valued employees
• improve collaboration among individuals in their own school participating in Consortium activities
• develop stronger connections among the Consortium schools
• enhance the value of membership in the Consortium

Goals for Fellows

If selected for the Susan Vogt Leadership Fellows Program, each Fellow will:

• participate in The Consortium Leaderful Series, facilitated by Joe Raelin, The Asa Knowles Chair of Practice-Oriented Education at Northeastern University
• conduct a practical, collaborative project
• contribute to a "network of agitators for the good" within and across member schools
• convene, connect, and coordinate Consortium participants within their own school following the extraordinary example set by Susan Vogt at Wellesley College

To support these goals, Fellows will:

• meet with other Fellows as a learning team throughout the year
• develop a personal learning plan customized to their goals and project
• enlist a sponsor from their institution
• have access to higher education leaders in a variety of functions, such as CFO, VP of Human Resources, and CIO
• have access to high-quality training, which will be provided at a reduced cost to the sponsoring school, through the Consortium's Professional Development Series

Vogt Fellow Candidates

All member schools are encouraged to participate in the Fellowship. Each Consortium school may sponsor one Fellow with an opportunity to send additional fellows if space is available. Additional Fellows will be considered by receipt of their application. Sponsoring institutions pledge to support their candidate’s full participation in the yearlong program by providing release time (approximately two days each month) and normal salary. The institution will also pay a tuition fee of $1,800 per Fellow.

Candidates should demonstrate a deep commitment to higher education, their institution, and The Boston Consortium. They should have a strong interest in their personal and professional development and in the development of others. Candidates should be capable of guiding transformative change within their institution.

To learn if your school is participating in the program and their nomination process contact your Human Resources office. Application deadline: June 3, 2013.
