ARTS & SCIENCES FACULTY ADVANCE LEADERSHIP SKILLS AT HERS INSTITUTE
Three College of Arts & Sciences faculty members are using the lessons they learned this summer to become better leaders in their roles on campus.
Drs. Dena Eber, digital arts faculty and graduate coordinator in the School of Art; Sheila Roberts, geology; and Carolyn Tompsett, psychology, participated in the 2016 Higher Education Resource Services (HERS) Bryn Mawr (Pa.) Summer Institute.
The annual institute, which encourages women to take leadership roles in higher education, helped each participant to better understand her leadership skills, improve her networking capabilities and increase awareness about the university.
“I wanted to do it for my department – geology – to learn how to work better with people,” Roberts said. “I learned to recognize different leadership styles and also how to look at situations from different perspectives.”
Roberts was also one of 18 women who participated in additional sessions as part of the HERS Luce Program for Women in STEM Leadership. They met to create a network for support and encouragement for women in STEM and to develop strategies for advancing a diverse cadre of women into STEM leadership roles.
