I am so glad that I chose to participate in the ELATE program.

My visibility on my own campus has increased exponentially, and I am now recognized as a campus-wide leader. I now have a network of strong women leaders from across the country. The entire experience has caused others to see me differently, and more importantly, caused me to see myself differently. I can see a new future unfolding in front of me.

The ELATE program was like 10 years of career development wrapped into one.

The Executive Leadership in Academic Technology and Engineering program at Drexel University is an innovative one-year, part-time fellowship designed to enhance the leadership and innovation capacity of senior faculty women in academic STEM and related fields. In its first fellowship year, ELATE at Drexel has been recognized with awards from the National Science Foundation, the Sloan Foundation, and the Henry Luce Foundation, and graduated a class of exceptional Fellows from top institutions all across the country. Applications for the 2014-2015 fellowship year open in November 2013 and are due by April 15, 2014.
