Where's Woodward: June
June 12 – Lunch with Dean of Faculties and SEC Fellows
I had an enjoyable and interesting discussion at lunch with the Dean of Faculties and Assistant Provost at A&M, Dr. John R. August, along with A&M’s SEC Fellows: Dr. Heather Wilkinson, Dr. Joe Ura, Dr. Michael Johnson, and Dr. Michael de Miranda.The SEC Academic Leadership Development Program (SEC ALDP) is a professional growth initiative that seeks to identify, prepare and advance academic leaders for roles within SEC institutions and beyond. It has two components: a university-level development program designed by each institution for its own participants and two, three-day, SEC-wide workshops held on specified campuses for all program participants. (Learn more about the Dean of Faculties and SEC Fellows here).
In addition to sharing information about our respective roles at A&M, it was an enjoyable discussion. It continues an initiative of the campus deans to reach out to various individuals at the University who are not deans, but are important collaborators, partners, and campus leaders to open a dialog. The goal is to create a rapport to discuss issues, share perspectives, and, quite simply, just get to know each other a bit better while fostering better understanding and communication from all corners of campus.
