Re: Chancellor's Diversity Leadership Institute Scholarship
On behalf of Campus Human Resources, the Anderson School of Management, and the Chancellor’s Office, I am pleased to invite applications for the Chancellor’s Diversity Leadership Scholarship to one of five diversity Leadership Institutes offered by UCLA Anderson’s Office of Executive Education. These scholarships are made possible by the generous support of Dean Judy Olian, and we encourage you to share this special opportunity with members of your staff at Management and Senior Professional (MSP) Grade 2 and above.
A three-day, on-campus session is the hub of this five-month leadership experience, with extensive pre-work, assessments and in-depth post-program analysis. Over the length of each program, other components are delivered via web conferencing with faculty and fellow participants. These sessions include leadership assessments, readings, leadership and career planning, coaching clusters, mentoring, and instruction in such topics as organizational savvy, effective negotiations, and leadership strategy.
Key topics include:
- Achieving extraordinary leadership potential
- Career management and action planning
- Negotiation skills
- Effective decision-making
- Mentorship and career-enhancing relationships
The deadline for applications to a Selection Committee that will make scholarship recommendations for all five institutes is December 1, 2010.
The schedule of institute start dates appears below.
UCLA Anderson Leadership Institutes | Start Dates |
|---|---|
| Latino Leadership Institute | February 8, 2011 |
| Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Leadership Institute | April 12, 2011 |
| African American Leadership Institute | April 19, 2011 |
| Women's Leadership Institute | August 9, 2011 |
| Leadership Institute for Managers with Disabilities | August 28, 2012 |
The UCLA Leadership Institutes are ideal for those with five or more years experience managing people and/or projects. One scholarship is offered for each Institute and for those not selected for the scholarship, we encourage eligible and interested employees to consider this developmental opportunity and apply directly to UCLA Anderson by the relevant deadline for their program of interest. A 30% employee discount is available for eligible UCLA managers and senior staff.
Early application is recommended, since space is limited.

Please ask interested employees to send a completed application, resume, and letter of support from their manager to Director Robert Gibson at rgibson@chr.ucla.edu, by December 1, 2010, for all institutes.
