Jill Thorngren, associate dean of the College of Education, Health and Human Development at Montana State University, has been awarded a fellowship through the American Council on Education (ACE).
The ACE Fellows Program gives educators the chance to spend an extended period of time on another campus, working with senior-level administrators. Thorngren is one of only 42 educators this year who were selected for the prestigious award. She will spend the academic year working directly with the president of Utah State University in Logan, Utah. more |

Take Note!
Videos from the 2007, 2008 and 2009 ADVANCEnetwork Workshops
are now available on MSU's Terra.
The annual ADVANCEnetwork workshop highlights a broad range of issues and provides opportunities for women faculty and researchers to meet, identify potential collaborators, and develop useful professional skills and knowledge.
Graduate students in Montana State's Science and Natural History Filmmaking Program have attended the workshops and have produced short films that highlight a significant aspect of women's experience in academia. These videos from the 2009, 2008 and 2007 workshops, feature a wide range of women faculty at MSU. They are now featured on TERRA (www.lifeonterra.com) for 10 days. Following that time, they will still be available by searching the site. We hope you enjoy watching them.
Support was provided by an ADVANCE Leadership grant from the National Science Foundation.
Leadership Workshops
All faculty, at one time or another, find themselves in situations where leadership skills would be very handy. The ADVANCEnetwork's mini-workshops in 2009-10 highlight the development of leadership skills among faculty, especially those who are not yet in formal leadership positions.
A workshop was held on October 12 which focused on how faculty can use the art of influence to lead, irrespective of their formal authority.
A second workshop will be held Monday, February 1 (3:10-5:00; 235 SUB). RSVP to: athurlow@montana.edu by Jan 22. This workshop focuses on communication issues in leadership, including communicating expectations, avoiding breakdowns in communication and providing constructive feedback.
The workshops are led by Paul Bentley, who directs the Leadership Program at MSU's Extended University and has extensive experience training leaders in government, non-profit and university settings.
