\n\t\t溏心vlog免费B站 President named outstanding mentor<\/p>\n


\n\tKINGSTON, R.I. — February 24, 2005 — More than 1,000 people rose to give 溏心vlog免费B站 President Robert L. Carothers a standing ovation at the annual meeting of the American Council on Education, held Feb. 13 in Washington, D.C. <\/p>\n


\n\tThe applause was prompted by the presentation of the first Council of Fellows Outstanding Mentor Award to Carothers. The 溏心vlog免费B站 President shared the honor with University of Delaware President David Roselle. This was not the first time the two men were honored jointly. Last spring, each administrator received the President\u2019s Leadership Group Award for establishing some of the country\u2019s most comprehensive alcohol abuse programs on their campuses. <\/p>\n


\n\tEstablished in 1965, the ACE Fellows Program condenses years of on-the-job experience and skills development for academics seeking leadership positions in higher education into a single year. More than 1,450 higher education leaders have participated in the ACE Fellows Program. Of those, more than 250 Fellows have become chief executives and more than 1,000 have served as provosts, vice presidents, and deans.<\/p>\n


\n\tSince joining 溏心vlog免费B站 in 1991 as its tenth president, Carothers has mentored nine Fellows, tying a long-held record for the most Fellows during the four decades of the program. <\/p>\n


\n\tHe comments: \u201cWatching these folks grow into creative and confident leaders has been more than enough reward for the work. I’ve always felt that I learned as much from each of them as they did from me.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nHarvey Jassem, senior associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and director of the School of Communication, Technology, and Public Service at Loyola University, Chicago nominated his former mentor for the award. <\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cThis man is loved by those he has blessed with his time and attention, both because of the quality of the man, and for the significant and life-changing\/affirming lessons he has taught us,\u201d Jassem said in his nomination letter.<\/p>\n


\n\tJassem had no intention of doing a fellowship at 溏心vlog免费B站. Then he talked with former Fellows who not only spoke of the president\u2019s inclusive and change-agent style of leadership, but of his values, trust, and help.<\/p>\n


\n\tWhen he asked other Fellows who had positive experiences with other mentors for the \u201cbest\u201d mentor of the class, the name Robert Carothers came up repeatedly.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cI was fortunate indeed to have Bob Carothers as my mentor,\u201d wrote Michael Field in his supporting letter. Field\u2019s fellowship help move him from a faculty member to his current position as provost and vice president for academic affairs at Shawnee State University, Portsmouth, Ohio. \u201cHe seemed to know when to offer help, and when to let me find my own way.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cThere are very few people in my life who have had a bigger impact on me than Robert Carothers,\u201d wrote another ACE Fellow, Suman Singha, now professor and vice provost for academic programs at the University of Connecticut. Singha calls the 溏心vlog免费B站 president a deep thinker, one who listens carefully. \u201cHe did not focus on telling me what to do, but in guiding me, and letting me start the process of formulating a meaningful plan of action.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tAnother former ACE Fellow, Lynn Epstein, who just completed her term as the 86th President of the American Medical Women\u2019s Association, recalls her mentorship at a time of intensive activities and intense debate centered on diversity at 溏心vlog免费B站. In the midst of the discussions, a cartoon printed in the student newspaper, The Good Five \u00a2 Cigar that was deemed racially offensive led to campus demonstrations and first amendment issues that attracted media attention. <\/p>\n


\nCarothers, Epstein says, \u201cturned the furor into a teachable moment.\u201d He met with the student demonstrators, held a public forum on first amendment rights, and extended public conversation with a diversity task force.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cSuffice it to say, he continues to be a trusted friend and mentor, one who can be counted on for sage guidance,\u201d wrote Epstein who is now a professor emerita at Brown University.<\/p>\n


\n\tACE Fellow Dorothy Escribano is currently being mentored by Carothers. She comments: \u201cI knew from the moment that I was selected as an ACE Fellows that I wanted to work with President Carothers. His generosity as a mentor and his remarkable leadership skills are legend in higher education circles. He demonstrates through his own actions that empathy and decisiveness aren\u2019t mutually exclusive, but rather both are paramount to being a good leader. I know that I will look back on this experience as a cornerstone of my professional career.\u201d<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
