The fourth annual Provost's Leadership Retreat was held on October 30th, 2007, from 12:00 - 5:30 PM, in Peter B. Lewis, Room 103. The theme of the final retreat was "Competing for the Academic Workforce in a Global Environment."

The keynote speech was delivered by President Barbara Snyder. Snyder was an assistant professor in the Case Western Reserve School of Law from 1983 until 1986. In 1986, she was promoted to associate professor and taught at the university until 1988, when she joined the Moritz College of Law faculty. She assumed the position of President of Case Western Reserve University on July 1, 2007, and became the first woman to hold the office.
 

Among other presentations at the half-day workshop were an ACES progress report from ACES Principal Investigator Lynn Singer, presentations from four deans, and an interactive discussion about recruitment, retention and mentorship of underrepresented faculty facilitated by JoAnn Moody. As a consultant, scholar, and practitioner, Dr. Moody helps colleges, universities, and professional schools rethink and improve their recruitment, mentorship, and retention of faculty, students, and staff--especially women and U.S. under-represented minorities.
