Two top UAFS administrators enter national advancement programs

Ray Wallace, provost and senior vice chancellor for academic affairs, will be part of the inaugural class of the Academic Leadership for the 21st Century program, a joint initiative of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, the American Academic Leadership Institute and the Council of Independent Colleges. Wallace, who joined UAFS in 2007, will be one of 24 in the new year-long program, which has been designed to enhance the skill sets of provosts and chief academic officers to prepare them to become successful presidents and chancellors.

Arleene Breaux, vice chancellor for university relations and executive assistant to the chancellor, will be one of 25 participants this July in Harvard’s Institute for Educational Management, which allows senior level administrators an opportunity to examine critical leadership challenges facing higher education. Participants are selected for the program based on their scope of responsibility, their breadth of experience and their potential to help their institution respond to changing needs and opportunities.
