The Andrew Young School of Policy Studies seeks an inspiring, creative, and strategic individual to serve as its next leader. With the school bearing the name of Ambassador Andrew Young, the dean will further expand on this compelling legacy for the school and further its mission of developing leaders and strengthening individuals, families, and communities within a global context.
American Council on Education (ACE) has announced that Georgia State University College of the Arts Dean Wade Weast has been named an ACE Fellow for academic year 2023-24. Following nomination by the senior administration of their institutions and a rigorous application process, 36 Fellows were selected this year.
Since its inception in 1965, the ACE Fellows Program has strengthened institutions in American higher education by identifying and preparing over 2,500 faculty, staff and administrators for senior positions in college and university leadership through its distinctive and intensive cohort-based mentorship model.
Of the Fellows who have participated to date – including Provost Parsons-Pollard, a past ACE Fellow herself – more than 80 percent have gone on, after their fellowship, to serve as chief executive officers, chief academic officers, other cabinet-level positions and deans.
The Assistant Provost for Strategic Initiatives will play a critical role in advancing the institution’s strategic priorities, driving innovation, and promoting excellence across all areas. The position reports directly to the Provost and works closely with senior leadership, faculty, and staff to develop and implement strategic initiatives that align with the institution’s vision and goals.
