FOCUS OF THE SEMINAR

Faculty members in contemporary higher education are facing a variety
of crises that relate to their personal lives as well as their
professional endeavors. Many faculty members are becoming bored or
disenchanged with their teaching and research, their institutional
responsibilities, and even their discipline. They seek out new ways
of relating to their colleagues, to their students and to worlds of
thought and action. This seminar addresses these concerns through
focusing on the role of faculty member as innovator, observer, learner
and one "who does and cares". Li

 

THE SEMINAR STRUCTURE

 

Three sessions of three hours duration will be offered each day during
this intensive five day program. Each session will address one of
the four faculty roles. Participants will be encouraged to participate
in at least two of the three sessions, as well as in various
"extra-curricular" events.

FACULTY MEMBER AS INNOVATOR |

The theme of innovation will be addressed through the review of theories,
models and research on the diffusion of innovation, processes of change
in collegiate settings, and the nature and dynamics of collegiate
cultures. Case studies and simulations will provide additional
experiential input. Steps in an organization consultation process
will be described and rehearsed, with a focus on the unique properties
of collegiate organizations.
