Leadership Development Program Endorsement Form

Endorse candidates for the Becoming a Provost Academy, Emerging Leaders Program, Executive Leadership Academy, Millennium Leadership Initiative, and the Student Success Institute.

The deadline for applications and endorsements is February 10, 2025.

Candidates will be informed of their acceptance status by mid-March.

You may endorse more than one candidate; please submit a new form for each person.

If you are a president/chancellor endorsing a provost/VPSA pair for the Student Success Institute, you only need to submit your endorsement one time. Choose one candidate to list in the “candidate’s name” field and acknowledge the joint endorsement in the “optional comments” field.

Please only submit endorsement(s) for applicants from your own institution. Please note the following endorsement requirements in order for a candidate’s submission to be considered complete. Endorsements must be submitted as follows:

  • BAPA: Endorsement from the president/chancellor or provost
  • ELP: Endorsement from the president/chancellor or cabinet-level administrator
  • ELA: Endorsement from the president/chancellor
  • MLI: Endorsement from the president/chancellor
  • SSI: Endorsement from the president/chancellor

After you complete this form, both you and the candidate will receive confirmation that the endorsement was submitted. The candidate will receive a confirmation email once their submission is complete (this may take 2-3 business days after submitting application and endorsement).
