Utah Valley Senior Executive Leadership Forum (UVSELF)

The Utah Valley Senior Executive Leadership Forum (UVSELF) provides an intellectually stimulating career exploration and discovery experience for faculty and staff who have demonstrated exceptional promise in contributing to excellence at Utah Valley University. Forum participants, or fellows, engage in wide-ranging discussions and learning activities related to critical issues and opportunities that arise in leading and managing the higher education enterprise.

The program is 11 months long and includes a two-day retreat on June 13 - 14, 2024, six seminars, as well as other experiences to complement the Forum.

The Application Process

A cohort of 18 to 20 UVSELF Fellows will be selected through an application process from a pool of applicants across campus. Employees interested in participating in UVSELF should submit an application, a current resume or vita, and a one-page statement of intent.

Applications must be received by 5:00 p.m., Thursday, March 28, 2024

Applications will be reviewed by a selection committee comprised of the President and Cabinet. The selection committee will screen applications against, but not limited to, the following characteristics:

  • Demonstrated leadership potential
  • Integrity
  • Dedication and commitment to UVU
  • Sense of intellectual engagement
  • Career aspirations
  • Availability to participate
  • Expression of interest

The employee's supervisor and second-level supervisor must be willing to endorse and support the applicant's participation. Because of the limited number of seats available in the cohort, applicants not selected are encouraged to reapply in succeeding years.
