Up to six newcomers to institutional advancement will receive fellowships. From this group, three will be selected to receive named fellowships. A development newcomer will be named the Vaughn Dann Fellow, an alumni newcomer will be named the Ray Willemain Fellow and a communications newcomer will be named the Illinois College Relations Fellow.
