On My Mentor

I feel quite fortunate to have the opportunity to work not only with my dean and chair, but also with my leadership mentor, Dr. Pat Lipetzky. From the first time we met, we have had a nice connection. I think that we are both conscientious in our approaches to leadership, work hard, value the input and expertise of others, and have vision for the future of our units and our institution. I look forward to my work with her over the coming year.

Reflection on Action Learning Project

I am in the process of serving my "action learning" group as team leader. My responsibilities include keeping folks connected and on task as we transition from the week of leadership academy training to our "regular" jobs. To facilitate this transition and communication, I created a "backpack" meeting site on the internet complete with "writeboards", messageboards, and milestones. I am also in the process of trying to arrange a meeting with our project sponsors for our work over the coming year on virtual faculty service. More to follow.
