Institutes for the Development of 21st Century STEM Leaders

利用数学和物理科学局多学科活动办公室和生物科学局生物基础设施处的这笔赠款，万花筒项目主任珍妮·纳鲁姆和独立学院办公室将在未来三年组织和举办一系列六个研究所，旨在加强年轻教师广泛的领导技能的发展，他们将成为21世纪STEM学科的领导者。这些“21世纪万花筒学院计划”(PKAL F21)学院是年轻教员与导师互动的研讨会，以培养领导技能和在本国机构环境中使用这些技能的量身定制的议程。尤其重要的是，这些机构对这些教师将来自的不同机构的潜在影响。这些学院将专注于校园领导力、专业学科和多学科社区的领导力、PKAL F21年轻教员日益增长的网络中的领导力以及公共领域的领导力。长期的期望是，这种在STEM学科方面的领导地位将导致学院参与者所在机构的教育和文化变革。PKAL F21学院成立于1994年，自那以来已经影响了100多名年轻教职员工。最近在国家科学基金会拨款DEB-9714869的支持下，这些新学院将广泛接触到STEM学科中更多样化的年轻教师队伍。

With this grant from the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences and the Division of Biological Infrastructure in the Directorate for Biological Sciences, Jeanne Narum, Director of Project Kaleidoscope and of the Independent Colleges Office, will organize and conduct a series of six institutes over the next three years that are designed to enhance development of broad leadership skills of young faculty who will be leaders in the STEM disciplines in the 21st century. These 'Project Kaleidoscope Faculty for the 21st Century' (PKAL F21) institutes are workshops in which young faculty interact with mentors to develop both leadership skills and a tailored agenda for use of these skills in their home institution settings. Of particular importance is the potential impact of these institutes on the diverse institutions from which these faculty will be drawn. These institutes will focus on leadership on campus, leadership within professional disciplinary and multidisciplinary communities, leadership within the growing network of PKAL F21 young faculty, and leadership in the public arena. The long-term expectation is that this leadership in STEM disciplines will give rise to educational and cultural transformation at the institute participants' home institutions.PKAL F21 institutes were established in 1994 and since that time have impacted well over 100 young faculty members. Most recently supported under NSF grant DEB-9714869, these new institutes will have a broad reach to a more diverse cadre of young faculty in STEM disciplines.
