2004 Speakers | 2004 Agenda with Downloadable Presentations
A one-day Provost's Leadership Retreat was held on the Case campus on October 26, 2004. For the first time ever, the President, Provost, the deans of the schools of Engineering, Management, and Medicine and the College of Arts and Sciences, and the chairs of the 31 S&E departments participating in the NSF-funded ACES program were brought together to discuss issues pertinent to the recruitment, retention, advancement, and leadership of women faculty. Information about the 2005 Provost's Leadership Retreat can be found at this link.
Presentations were made by Case's President, Edward M. Hundert, M.D., and Provost John Anderson. NSF ADVANCE program directors Drs. Alice Hogan and Lloyd Douglas spoke about the overall ADVANCE program, and Drs. Abby Stewart and Sam Mukasa from the University of Michigan informed the deans and chairs about key programs and findings from their ADVANCE project. Deputy Provost Lynn Singer, Ph.D., and Dr. Diana Bilimoria described ACES program activities during the first year including executive coaching of deans, chairs, and women faculty, mentoring committees of women faculty, training and development, networking, search committee support, and student awareness training. The chairs of the ACES first year departments (Chemistry, Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, Organizational Behavior, and Physiology & Biophysics) shared the experiences, successes, and challenges in their departments. Two of the chairs who attended the University of Washington’s Chairs’ Leadership Workshop (the chairs of Biology and Chemistry) presented their experiences during and learnings from this workshop. The four school/college deans led discussions around current and emerging initiatives at Case addressing the advancement of women faculty, including partner hiring, child care, and service load issues. The ACES research and evaluation committee (REC) reported on findings during the first year from faculty focus groups and interviews, coaching feedback, and the 2004 University Community and Climate Survey.
The retreat concluded with a discussion of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for moving forward with the ideas discussed, followed by dinner and a talk by Dr. Sue Rosser from the ADVANCE program at Georgia Institute of Technology. Evaluations of the one-day retreat were very favorable. Below is an agenda of the retreat that includes links to some of the retreats presentations.
