ALBANY,
N.Y. (August 9, 2005) -- Patrick T. Sibaya,
senior professor, head of the Department of
Educational Psychology, and vice-dean of the
Faculty of Education at the University of Zululand
(UniZul) will spend a month at the University
at Albany as an American Council on Education
(ACE) fellow. He will arrive on campus Aug.
31.
ACE fellows are typically current college
administrators who spend an extended period
of time on another campus, working directly
with presidents and other senior administrators
to observe how they address strategic planning,
resource allocation, and policy.
“We are pleased to welcome Patrick Sibaya
at the University at Albany for the coming
academic year,” said President Kermit
L. Hall, who has visited UniZul, a rural university
of 6,000 students. “The choice of the
University at Albany as a site for an ACE fellow
is an honor for the institution and underscores
the University’s growing prestige in
international education.”
Sibaya is registered with the Health Professions
Council of South Africa (HPCSA) as an educational,
counseling, and research psychologist, and
is president of the Psychological Society of
South Africa.
Founded in 1918, ACE is the major coordinating
body for all the nation’s higher education
institutions, representing more than 1,600
college and university presidents, and more
than 200 related associations nationwide. It
provides leadership and a unifying voice on
key higher education issues and influences
public policy through advocacy, research, and
program initiatives.
