Comments from some graduates:
“The HERS Summer Institute was the most transformational leadership
training opportunity I have experienced to date. I went in with little
confidence in my capacity as a leader. The intensive immersion
experience empowered me with the knowledge, skills, and institutional
perspective that I needed to drive my unit in the direction we've been
longing to go. Most importantly, I now have a network of women in and
out of the US that I can turn to for advice, rejuvenation, and a
shoulder. --Dani' Sheppard, Chair, Dept of Psychology, Univ Alaska
Fairbanks, HERS SI 2009”
“I was long familiar with the HERS Bryn Mawr Summer Institute reputation
for providing quality continuing education for women leaders in higher
education and was privileged to have been sponsored by my university to
attend the 2009 sessions. The institute was far and away the most
enriching exposure I have had to enhancing my knowledge of the higher
education environment as well as providing me practical expertise to bring
back to campus. In fact, once I returned to my school, I was immediately
able to apply what I learned, (in the classroom and in informal
conversations with participants and speakers) to solve vexing problems
which before seemed to be insurmountable. I have continued to rave about
the institute and encourage colleagues to consider it as a worthwhile
investment of time (and money).” — Ferris Olin, Director, Institute for Women and Art, Rutgers University
