Become a Facilitator of Holistic Review Workshops

Oct 25-27/2019/Orlando, Fl

University of Central Florida Campus

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED

The Inclusive Graduate Education Network (IGEN) and California Consortium for Inclusive Doctoral Education (C-CIDE) will co-sponsor a 2.5 day workshop to prepare higher education change agents as facilitators of interactive workshops on holistic graduate admissions.  Applications are open immediately. Travel funding is available but limited.

Why attend?
Workshops developed by Dr. Casey Miller and Dr. Julie Posselt to aid PhD programs in transitioning from traditional graduate admissions process to holistic review have met with success. External evaluation revealed that facilitation by scholars from both the physical and social sciences was a key factor in their effectiveness. NSF has funded IGEN & C-CIDE, in part, to scale-up faculty development in graduate admissions by increasing the number of people trained to facilitate these workshops.

Participants will…

• Expand their knowledge and skills as change agents for equity
• Learn to facilitate professional development workshops on holistic review

This event is co-sponsored by…

The event will be hosted as part of the IGEN National Meeting (more info).

Julie Posselt is Associate Professor of Education at the University of Southern California and a 2015 National Academy of Education/ Spencer Foundation postdoctoral fellow. Her research examines institutionalized inequalities in selective sectors of higher education, especially graduate education, elite colleges and universities, STEM fields, and the professoriate. Posselt is the author of Inside Graduate Admissions: Merit, Diversity, and Faculty Gatekeeping (Harvard University Press, 2016), an award-winning ethnographic comparative study of faculty decision making in doctoral admissions. Her research is also published in the American Educational Research Journal, Journal of Higher Education, Annual Review of Sociology, and Research in Higher Education, among others. A member of the editorial review boards for the Journal of Higher Education and Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, her research has been funded by the US Department of Education, Spencer Foundation, Mellon Foundation, and National Science Foundation. She received her PhD from the University of Michigan, and recently received the the 2017 Early Career Award from the Association for the Study of Higher Education.

Casey W. Miller is Associate Dean for Research and Faculty Affairs in the College of Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology. He is an experimental physicist focusing on nanoscale magnetic materials and related devices. He served as Director of the University of South Florida’s APS Bridge Site, which was created by the American Physical Society in 2013. He graduated summa cum laude from Wittenberg University in 1999 with University and Physics Departmental Honors, where he was also elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He earned his PhD from the University of Texas at Austin in 2003, earning the Department’s Best Dissertation Award for work combining Magnetic Resonance Imaging with Scanning Probe Microscopy. His post-doctoral work at the University of California, San Diego, focused on quantum tunneling of electrons between magnetic films. He is recipient of the NSF-CAREER and AFOSR-Young Investigator Awards.
