UPCOMING CELEBRATIONS

20^th Cohort Dinner at NC State

North Carolina State University Chancellor Randy Woodson will host the 20^th Cohort of FSLI at his home during the North Carolina residential session.  20^th Cohort Fellows, University Administration, former and current FSLI leadership, and guests will attend this first celebration.

Board on Agriculture Assembly Reception

The Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) will celebrate the 20^th Anniversary of FSLI at their Board on Agriculture Assembly Reception during the annual APLU Annual Meeting.  This meeting brings together university leaders, including Presidents and Chancellors, Provosts, Vice Presidents, Deans, Directors, Senior Officials, and others for a time of learning, strategizing, and planning for the future.

FUNDRAISING

This year marks the 20^th cohort of FSLI – a milestone truly worthy of celebration. We have positively impacted the leadership acumen of nearly 500 Fellows. Many of our FSLI Fellows are now leaders in their institutions and organizations.

Recently, a major gift initiated by Dean Cathann Kress, in her role as Trustee of the Kellogg Foundation, was made to the FSLI Endowment. This six-figure donation serves as the foundation for a fundraising drive to grow the FSLI Endowment.  

By growing the endowment, we will:

1. Provide meaningful scholarships to enable stronger recruiting from under-resourced institutions; creating a more diverse FSLI will benefit the program and our institutions 
2. Continue underwriting the APLU Leadership Award administered by FSLI
3. Sustain the high quality of FSLI programming, despite the costs of which have escalated dramatically post-COVID

To help support FSLI and make this program available to everyone, you are invited to give here.
