Debra Schulz, assistant registrar at Minnesota State University, Mankato, recently graduated from the 2009 HERS Institute for Women in Higher Education Administration at the University of Denver in Colorado.
For more than 35 years the Higher Education Resource Services has offered women faculty and administrators an intensive program that prepares them to be leaders in higher education. The Denver Institute is the newest of three Higher Education Resource Services institutes. Institutes also are held at Bryn Mawr College and Wellesley College.
The institute’s focus was “Women’s Leadership in Times of Crisis: Leveraging Our Responses for Institutional Renewal.” Participants learned about the economic environment, planning and implementing change and converting challenges to opportunities. The 32 participants represented 22 institutions, and the faculty included 20 senior women leaders from a variety of colleges and universities.
Schulz has been at Minnesota State Mankato since 1993, serving as assistant registrar since 2005. She is in charge of registration for the university, and is the academic athletic eligibility coordinator for Division I & II sports.
She was sponsored by the Office of the President, and was selected through a process facilitated by the President’s Commission on the Status of Women. Four university women faculty members and administrators have participated in HERS Institutes in the last five years.
More information is available at the HERS Web site and Minnesota State Mankato's Commission on the Status of Women site.
