Chemist Tamara Hendrickson named an ELATE fellow

Wayne State chemistry professor Tamara Hendrickson has been accepted into the ELATE at Drexel^® national leadership development program. This prestigious fellowship program is designed to advance senior women faculty in STEM fields into leadership roles.

According to a press release, ELATE at Drexel® is a one-year, part-time program that focuses on increasing personal and professional leadership effectiveness, leading and managing change initiatives within institutions, using strategic finance and resource management to enhance organizational missions, and creating a network of exceptional women who bring organizational perspectives and deep personal capacity to the institutions and society they serve.

Hendrickson is one of only 18 women chosen for the 2018-19 class of fellows. She joins a small but mighty team of Wayne State Warrior women who have preceded her in the elite program.

"I'm honored and delighted to be following in the footsteps of other WSU faculty who have participated in ELATE and I'm so excited about this opportunity," Hendrickson says.
