CWRU’s Rose Kelly selected for the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO) Fellows Program

Rose Kelly (LAW ’22), associate vice president for finance and controller at Case Western Reserve University, was chosen nationally with just 17 other mid-career finance professionals for the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO) Fellows Program—becoming the first in CWRU history to take part in the program. 

Launched in 2016, the NACUBO Fellows Program is a one-year leadership development program designed to provide support, education and learning opportunities to individuals who seek a chief business officer position as their next career role. 

Through access to experienced chief business officers, presidents, provosts, NACUBO experts, and other higher education leaders, the program provides participants with the opportunity to:

• Develop an understanding of the complexities of the chief business officer role;
• Gain broad exposure to the field of higher education;
• Understand essential competencies required for high performance as a chief business officer;
• Enhance management, leadership and communications skills;
• Learn how veteran chief business officers have addressed institutional and professional challenges; and
• Build a network of colleagues who serve as a resource of support throughout the fellow's career. 

Since the program launched, more than half of its alumni have advanced in their careers, including more than 30 alumni who achieved their goal of becoming a chief business officer.
