Albertsons Library's Associate Dean Michelle Armstrong was among 20 top academic library administrators selected as Library Senior Fellows at the University of California, Los Angeles for Summer 2024.
The Library Senior Fellowship is a three-week residential program combining management perspectives, strategic thinking and practical and theoretical approaches to academic libraries' issues.
Considered the longest-running leadership development program in the library profession, the fellowship provided timely, substantial training in leading libraries and allowed for the building of deep, professional relationships.
As the first participant selected from Boise State, Armstrong said she was excited to join such an accomplished cohort of library leaders.
"It was an incredible honor to be selected for this fellowship. It is an incredible opportunity to develop relationships and build insights into how Albertsons Library can continue to be a driver for student success now and into the future. I am very grateful for the support I received from Dean Tod Colegrove, Provost John Buckwalter and Boise State University to be able to participate in such a prestigious program."
Armstrong was joined by colleagues from Georgia State University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Vanderbilt University, Case Western Reserve University and the University of Oxford.
