The 3rd Annual Provost's Leadership Retreat was held November 2nd, 2006, from 12:00 - 6:00 pm in Peter B. Lewis, Room 103. The theme was "Leading Change: Creating Tomorrow's University." Provosts, the interim president, interim Deans of the four ACES schools and Deans of Case's 4 other schools, and chairs of 31 ACES departments were invited to attend.  This event was expanding from the previous years to include the entire all departments of the Weatherhead School of Management and all Arts & Sciences departments as we work toward institutionalization.

Lunch began at 12:00 and featured a keynote by Dr. Bernice Sandler, "Strategies for Climate Change: How Deans and Department Chairs Make a Difference". Dr. Sandler is Senior Scholar at the Women's Research and Education Institute in Washington, DC, where she consults about achieving equity for women in higher education. Referred to as the "godmother of Title IX", Sandler has played a major role in the development and passage of laws prohibiting sex discrimination in education. Her books include "The Chilly Classroom Climate: A Guide to Improve the Education of Women", and "Sexual Harassment on Campus: A Guide for Administrators, Faculty and Students.

The half-day session also included a progress report on ACES first three years, a peer-to-peer discussion about participating in ACES initiatives and grass-roots efforts by male faculty, and the creation of Change Implementation Plans. A report out on the plans concluded the day and took place over wine and cheese.
