UM CID Agenda

• Broadening professional development
• for students seeking academic careers
• for students seeking industrial careers
• Supporting diverse workforce
• for women in academic careers
• in general, for underrepresented groups
• Diversify post-baccalaureate options

CSIE Broadening Scholarship

• Chemical Sciences at the Interface of Education
• What Future faculty development spanning
  undergraduate to post-doctoral students (i.e.,
  develop stewardship in the usual way
  sustained education leads to independence)
• How Adds training grant supplement for those
  PhD students interested in academia
• Why Empowering student control choice, and
  address issue of professional competency for
  future faculty members as teacher, but also as
  mentor, advisor, author, grantee, department and
  university citizen in different settings

CSIE 1998 - present

• Evolved from a faculty members scholarly program
  - extension of opportunities via GAANN
• Earliest discussions regarding a CSIE PhD program
  with Carnegie Scholars
• Discussed by UM Chem Graduate Committee
• Critics dilution of effort, time, not needed,
  distraction
• Supporters funding, recruitment, support,
  motivation, more complete attitude towards
  education
• Key student ownership choice
• Key incremental growth
• Key open discussion

CSIE next steps (retreat - 6/13/03)

• Invent better upper level engagement
• Invent infrastructure for an instructional
  research and development group within the
  department - articulation, mentorship, scholarly
  growth
• Invent post-BS post-PhD support network
• Possibly provide guidance for an expansion
  project (multidisciplinary international)

9
ADVANCE

• NSF increase representation and success of women
  in academic careers
• Reduce accumulation of disadvantage
• Department and faculty issues trickle down
• Policy recruitment, retention, PT
• Climate survey faculty, students, staff
• Assess, evaluate, act strategic, public
• Overlap with CSIE in general
• Joint program activities (seminars, brown-bag)
• CID, Woodrow Wilson, other higher educational
  arenas

10
Moving the Graduate Program Outside the PhD Box

• Dual mentor post-doctoral program for future
  faculty
• Cooperative site experiences (national
  international--e.g., IGERT)
• Combined PhD degrees (Chemistry Education
  MACRO)
• Establish BS/MS MS/X degrees
