The ACE Fellowship Program, established in 1965, is designed to strengthen higher education by preparing promising faculty and staff members for leadership positions. Thirty-five fellows were selected this year in a national competition.
Mora has spent the past year serving as associate dean of CSUN's College of Humanities. As an ACE fellow, Mora will spend the next year working with the chancellor of the Los Angeles Community College District.
"It's a wonderful opportunity for me to look at the community college district," Mora said. "I feel I have CSU experience. Now this is my year to examine the issues in higher education in the community colleges."
Marlene Ross, director of the ACE Fellows Program, said that most previous fellows have advanced into major positions in academic administration. Of the 1,148 participants in the first 31 years of the program, more than 200 have become chief executive officers in 260 institutions and higher education organizations and nearly 700 have become vice presidents, provosts or deans.
The American Council on Education is the umbrella association for the nation's colleges and universities. ACE membership includes more than 1,600 accredited, degree-granting institutions and more than 200 higher education associations and organizations.
