FACET Leadership Institute set for spring 2004

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—The Faculty Colloquium for Excellence in Teaching (FACET) will host the Leadership Institute on April 23–25, 2004 at University Place Hotel and Conference Center located on the IUPUI campus. The 2004 co-chairs James Perry and Brian Winchester bring a wealth of experience, passion and enthusiasm to this year’s theme, Citizenship in the Twenty-First Century World. Perry directs the campus’ American Democracy Project and is a Chancellor’s Professor for the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at IUPUI. He has extensive experience in community service and civic engagement. Winchester currently oversees the Center for The Study of Global Change at IU Bloomington and teaches a seminar on Research in Less Developed Countries. He also brings tremendous cultural and international leadership experience to the institute. Each of the eight IU campuses will send at least one faculty team of five members to participate in the institute and subsequently assume the leadership role on their campus in relation to the project developed during the institute. Calls for campus team membership will be sent to Chief Academic Officers and FACET campus liaisons this November. Team members will have accommodations, meals and participant fee waived. At their own expense, campuses may send additional team members. This invitation is extended to surrounding institutions across the state. We are approximating this cost to be $300 per person. This institute, among many other significant contributions to academic life at IU, was the catalyst for IU faculty and FACET member David Pace’s award-winning first-year program on the Bloomington campus, the development of Centers for Excellence in Teaching and Learning on at least three IU campuses, and a tremendous contribution to the diversity initiative across the entire university. The three-year plan beginning in 2004 also promises long-term outcomes and results that could impact the university and beyond. A tentative outline proposes the following three-year cycle:
2004: Envisioning the Possible
Campus teams report on and demonstrate the achievements of their campuses in relation to Citizenship in the 21st Century World, and develop plans for sustaining these achievements across the university and on each campus.
FACET, an IU Presidential initiative, is designed both to recognize and enhance outstanding teaching throughout the IU system and to promote continued development of teaching excellence among colleagues at IU and beyond.
