November 15 Deadline for Round III of Pew Grant Program in Course Redesign


Carol Twigg, Executive Director, Center for Academic Transformation (voice: 518-276-6519; fax: 518-695-5633; email: twiggc@rpi.edu; and web site: www.center.rpi.edu) has announced a November 15, 2000 deadline for those planning to submit institutional readiness statements for Round III participation in the Pew Grant Program in Course Redesign (first step in application process). Statements should be single-spaced and a maximum of eight pages with no attachments of any kind and must be submitted by the provost or academic vice president. They should describe the relevant content of any cited web sites rather than providing links since reviewer time is limited.

Electronic versions of the statement should be sent to Pat Bartscherer at bartp@rpi.edu in Microsoft Word format in a file naming the institution, followed by _IRC. Five paper copies should also be submitted to Pat Bartscherer, 17 Cramer Path, Gansevoort, NY 12831. Both the electronic and paper submissions are due on November 15. Plans are to notify the 40 institutions by early December that will be invited to participate in the January 11-12 Round III workshop in New Orleans.

National Academy for Academic Leadership Sponsors Workshop for Chief Academic and Chief Financial Officers,
November 19-22


The National Academy is offering a workshop in cooperation with NACUBO and AGB from November 19-22, "Academic Change and Strategic Resource Allocation," at the Don CeSar Beach Resort and Spa at St. Pete Beach in Florida. This event will focus on team-building involving chief academic and financial officers, and, as appropriate, the president and one or more board members. Working with experienced practitioners and scholars, participants will pursue these workshop goals:

• Relate resource allocation issues to academic initiatives,
• Analyze real costs
• Develop the knowledge and skills necessary to work together in the design and implementation of significant institutional change, and
• Develop within each team a shared language and common values.

In preparing for the workshop, participants and selected colleagues will complete a survey questionnaire on budget and resource allocation on their campus as a resource for team discussion and planning during the workshop. For more information, costs, and registration details, go to http://www.thenationalacademy.org/Programs/caocfo00.html.

National School & Community Corps Invites ANAC Student Participation


Rapid program expansion in New Jersey and the cities of Philadelphia and Baltimore means attractive Americorps opportunities for ANAC students and graduates to gain valuable inner-city professional experiences and to serve America. Americorps participants work in school and in nonprofit arts and community development organizations whose mission is to upgrade the education and quality of life of inner-city residents. Participation may occur during the summer or school year in a variety of paid positions. The National School & Community Corps of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation has been remarkably successful, combining serious purpose and high morale.

Please call the program to the attention of students seeking to combine a service learning and professional experience in the inner-city. It's not too early now to plan for next summer and next year.
