<br>
<font face="Times New Roman" size="2">Harvard University's
Administrative
Fellowship Program seeks to attract candidates, especially those from
underrepresented
ethnic minority groups and those committed to addressing the
underrepresentation
of ethnic minorities in university administration, to administrative
careers
in higher education. To this end, the Administrative Fellowship Program
offers a twelve-month management experience complemented by a
professional
development program.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The Program provides participants
with opportunities to broaden their experience through working in an
academic
environment as a mid-level administrator. The Program seeks to enrich
and
diversify the Harvard community by bringing talented professionals to
Cambridge.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The Program is in its seventeenth
year of operation and will draw Fellows from business, government,
education,
and the professions. Each participant will receive a salary from
Harvard
University. All costs for the required educational seminar will be
covered
by Harvard University. Participants must secure and cover the cost of
their
housing.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The 2006-2007 Program will begin
in September. The Fellows will be placed in various schools and
departments
throughout the University. Reflecting the academic and administrative
diversity
of the Harvard community, assignments for each Fellow will differ.
However,
individual fellowship needs will be shaped by considering both the
school's
or department's needs and the participant's career experience. Fellows
are strongly urged to obtain leaves of absence from their current jobs.
While the University will make every effort to place successful
participants,
there is no guarantee of permanent Harvard employment upon completion
of
the Program.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="Times New Roman" size="2">Fellows will participate in a
seminar
series in addition to a full-time work assignment. Seminars, lectures,
and case studies have been designed to enhance management and
administrative
skills and to assist in self-assessment and development. The overall
goal
of the education program is to encourage Fellows to assess their own
career
development and to generate strategies for advancement.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><b><u>OAP MISSION STATEMENT</u></b></font>
<br>
<font face="Times New Roman" size="2">The Office of the Assistant to
the President, established in July 1971, is committed to ensuring that
Harvard University selects faculty and staff without discriminating
against
individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation,
religion,
creed, national origin, age, veteran status, or disability unrelated to
job requirements. The Office provides counsel to individuals who belong
to the university community on these and other related matters. </font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="Times New Roman" size="2">In addition, the Office serves
as the University's liaison with the federal government in matters
related
to contract compliance concerning equal employment opportunity. The
Office
of the Assistant to the President coordinates the University's
affirmative
action program, oversees its implementation and disseminates University
policies concerning affirmative action and equal employment opportunity
(AA/EEO). The Office deals with quality of life issues for women,
people
of color and students and employees with alternate lifestyles. The
Office
also provides a mentoring service as well as conducts exit interviews
with
members of minority groups as appropriate. </font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="2">Today, one in every four
Americans
belongs to a racial or ethnic minority group. Yet despite tremendous
advances
in health science in recent decades, minorities still fall victim to
heart
disease, cancer, diabetes and HIV/AIDS in numbers far greater than
whites.
Clearly, it's going to take more than medicine alone to change this
fact. It will take health services researchers whose minority
perspective
can bring a broader understanding to the political, social, economic
and
environmental realities of the disparity of health care between
minorities
and whites.</font>
<br>
<font face="Times New Roman" size="2"> </font>
<br>
<font face="Times New Roman" size="2">To prepare top candidates to
pursue
research in health services, the Leonard Davis Institute of Health
Economics
(LDI) and the Health Care Systems Department of the Wharton School
(HCSD),
University of Pennsylvania are seeking applicants for our summer
research
program for underrepresented minority undergraduate students. The
Summer
Undergraduate Minority Research (SUMR) program, in its seventh year,
provides
rising sophomores, juniors and seniors with an opportunity to receive a
generous monthly stipend to conduct health services research on a topic
of their choice, under the guidance of Penn faculty. In addition
to conducting research, SUMR Scholars will participate in an
orientation
program, attend weekly seminars, attend a national conference, and
network
with health services researchers. The program runs from June through
August.</font>

to the graduate school experience and faculty life through
mentor-guided
research. Students work under faculty mentorship either on an
individual
basis or as part of a research team. Research teams may also include
graduate
students, research scientists, and other SROP students. Participants
present
their results in the form of an oral or poster presentation at a
concluding
Research Symposium.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman" size="2">In addition, all participants
engage
in a series of academic, personal, and professional development

One outcome is that participants develop realistic groundwork for
advanced
study, helping them prepare for graduate degrees at the University of
Michigan.
A second outcome is that students </font>

community.
SROP participants should be available full-time from June 6 through
