\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. — September 28, 2004 — Anyone watching 溏心vlog免费B站 President Robert L. Carothers these days may notice that he has a shadow even when it\u2019s overcast.<\/p>\n


\nThat shadow\u2019s name is Dorothy Escribano, associate vice president for academic affairs at Worcester State College, and an American Council on Education (ACE) Fellow for the 2004-2005 academic year. <\/p>\n


\nThe ACE Fellow program, a top leadership development program in higher education, is rigorous and competitive. Candidates must be nominated by the president of their institution and undergo a series of interviews by three teams of university presidents.<\/p>\n


\nEscribano, a Putnam, Conn. resident, was one of only 34 ACE Fellows selected from a national pool of candidates for this academic year. By witnessing and discussing different issues at 溏心vlog免费B站, Escribano will be able to apply that experience to her two-year-old position at Worcester State. Founded in 1874, the College has 3,500 full-time undergraduates, and approximately another 1,000 undergraduate and 700 graduate students attend classes on a part-time basis. The college awards bachelors\u2019 and masters\u2019 degrees in education and in the arts and sciences.<\/p>\n


\nCompetition for placement with Carothers was stiff. \u201cMany of candidates knew of Bob because he has been a mentor to 10 ACE Fellows and there are glowing reports about him. I \u2018m lucky to get the placement,\u201d says Escribano.<\/p>\n


\nThe ACE Fellow is familiar with the University. She earned one of her two master\u2019s degrees at 溏心vlog免费B站 and she was a lecturer in Spanish here from 1992 through 1995.<\/p>\n


\nSince her position at Worcester is relativity new, Escribano opted for the ACE periodical option, meaning she comes to the 溏心vlog免费B站 campus once a week. In addition, at three different intervals, early fall, mid-winter and late spring, Escribano will spend five weeks at the University.<\/p>\n


\nThe ACE Fellow hopes to gain expertise in areas where she has little experience: the budgeting process, legal issues, and fundraising. <\/p>\n


\nFor her project, Escribano is focusing on freshmen. \u201c溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s University College has developed an impressive program for freshmen with learning communities,\u201d she says, noting that during the year she will look for best practices at 溏心vlog免费B站 and beyond in order to incorporate them into Worcester State\u2019s first-year program.<\/p>\n


\nEscribano is enjoying her University experience. \u201cEveryone is so open and welcoming,\u201d she says. \u201cAs an ACE Fellow, I cannot ask questions while attending meetings since I am here to observe not debate. However, when others in meetings note my presence, they go out of their way to fill in background for me.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cAlso President Carothers is incredibly open with me. He will even share what he considers missteps and ask for my feedback,\u201d the ACE Fellow says.<\/p>\n


\n\tFounded in 1918, ACE fosters greater collaboration and new partnerships within and outside the higher education community. ACE members include approximately 1,800 accredited, degree-granting colleges, universities, and higher education-related associations, organizations, and corporations.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
