Identifying the Principles and Values of Jesuit Education and Leadership
Please join us for this invitation only working lunch seminar to explore the principles and values of Jesuit education and leadership for Faculty and future healthcare leaders. The impetus for this series began when we asked a simple question: How can employers tell that a graduate of The University of Scranton possesses a Jesuit education? The goal of this four-part series is to answer that question by examining how we can incorporate and infuse the principles and values of Jesuit education into our curriculum. The next three parts of this series will be held from September through January and will focus on identifying the tools to bring Jesuit principles and values into the classroom within the context of healthcare; the development, application and integration of the tools for the classroom and syllabus; and infusing Jesuit principles and values into the greater healthcare workplace community.
RSVP by Tuesday, June 7, to Joanne Reichle at 570-941-4350 or via e-mail at ReichleJ1@scranton.edu.
The event is sponsored by the Department of Health Administration & Human Resources through the federal Health Profession Education & Training Grant.
About our speaker…
Rev. Myles N. Sheehan, S.J., M.D. became the 15th provincial of the New England Province of the Society of Jesus on July 31, 2009, the feast of St. Ignatius, the founder of the Jesuits. Prior to entering the Society of Jesus, he completed his undergraduate degree and doctorate in medicine at Dartmouth College. Fr. Sheehan joined the New England Province on August 25, 1985, and made his novitiate at St. Andrew House in Boston, Mass. After completing his philosophy studies at Loyola University in Chicago, he did two years of post-doctoral studies in gerontology at Harvard Medical School. He earned his M.Div. from the Weston Jesuit School of Theology in Cambridge and was ordained to the priesthood on June 18, 1994. On April 22, 2005, he professed solemn vows. Since 1995, Myles has served as a professor of medicine at Loyola University’s Stritch School of Medicine in Chicago. In 2000, he added the administrative duties of senior associate dean to his teaching and research responsibilities.
Mastering the Art and Science of Grant Writing
The first round of these workshops, held during the Summer of 2010 into January 2011, included 15 faculty with completed grants requesting approximately $600,000. This second round will mirror the success of the first by offering highly interactive workshops, allowing Faculty participants to probe and practice the basic steps for writing a successful grant proposal with the help of an expert grant writer and instructor. Ms. Marybeth H. McDonough, BA, MPH, a certified grants writer and member of the Professional Grants Writing Association, will provide our faculty with advice on proposal writing, including making your case to the reviewers, gearing the proposal to the intended agency, and preparing an accurate and well-supported budget. Ms. McDonough has also offered to serve as a mentor to all participants, beginning with a conversation prior to the first session. Additionally, access to a funding search engine will be available through meetings with Ms. McDonough.
By making a commitment to attend all three sessions, participating faculty members will be expected to fully develop a submission-worthy proposal by the conclusion of the series, which spans a seven-month period. On the workshop's first day, participants should come prepared with an idea for a grant proposal, which can be discussed with Ms. McDonough prior to the session. This can be a proposed research project or educational program, which the faculty member is interested in directing. By the second meeting, each participant will have an outline and will have identified one or more potential funding sources. The second workshop will provide the faculty member with the resources necessary to expand the outline into a full proposal, which they will then be expected to complete by the third and final workshop. The five-month window between sessions two and three is intentionally designed to afford you the appropriate time to complete your project. At a date to be determined in October, we will hold a brief touch-base group meeting. This meeting will be held after 4 p.m. with reports and refreshments served.
This series of workshops will take place in the Casey Conference Room, Room 502, in Brennan Hall on the following dates and times:
- Wednesday, June 15, 2011, from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
- Wednesday, August 3, 2011, from 7: 30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
- TBD Date in October for afternoon coffee/tea – touch base reporting meeting.
- Wednesday, January 11, 2012, from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
