As part of the university's commitment to the development of women leaders at Case Western Reserve University, we are accepting applications for financial support for attendance at the 2008 Bryn Mawr Summer Institute for Women in Higher Education Administration. The dates for the 2008 Summer Institute are June 21, 2008, through July 16, 2008.
This initiative was launched in 2003-2004. Recipients have included Wendy Shapiro (Director, Instructional Technology and Academic Computing), Denise Douglas (Associate Dean, Graduate Studies), Adrienne Dziak (Director, Government Relations), Diana Morris (Associate Professor, Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing and Associate Director for Programming, University Center on Aging and Health), and Jacklyn Chisholm (Vice President of Planning and Institutional Relations at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum).
The purpose of the Summer Institute is to improve the status of women in the middle and executive levels of higher education administration. The Summer Institute is designed to prepare participants to assume leadership positions in higher education by providing an intensive experience in the various facets of university administration. Speakers include university presidents and provosts, chief financial officers, university vice presidents, deans, and department chairs. The Summer Institute has been offered every summer since 1976.
Application for admission is open to women faculty and college or university administrators whose background, experience, and present responsibilities indicate a potential for professional advancement in higher education administration. Typically, participants carry such titles as department chair, director, assistant to the president, assistant dean, associate dean, dean, or assistant vice president.
