We are very pleased with the national response to the call for applicants for the Class of 2016 for ELATE at Drexel. Already, we have an excellent candidate pool that will result in a diverse class that is strong in talent and commitment to leadership. Several schools have asked for additional time to support applications of their candidates. Not only do we have several positions open, but we are willing to expand the class to accommodate this year's demand. Online applications for Fellows will remain open through midnight February 5, 2015 and entries for Nominators and Recommenders through midnight February 15, 2015.
We encourage you to distribute information about this program to your colleagues in these fields. More information about the program is available on our flyer and on the program website.
