Jill M. Baren, professor of emergency medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and former department chair (Almanac October 25, 2011), was recently named an ACE Fellow by the American Council on Education. 

ACE Fellows spend time on another campus, working with the president and senior leadership team to observe firsthand how another institution and its senior administrators lead the institution and deal with change. Fellows are mentored by a team of experienced institutional leaders, usually the president and vice presidents. The ACE Fellows Program is the only national, individualized, long-term professional development program in higher education to provide on-the job learning. Fellows also take part in seminars and retreats with other leaders and experts in the field.
