I received this message from doctoral grad, Dr. Matesi today.  Wonderful work Lyna!

 

“Great news! A bound, signed copy of my dissertation arrived today and this evening I accepted a tenure track teaching position as Assistant Professor of Management at the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point. Synchronicity?”

 

Thanks for the word, Lyna,

In Spring 2013, Joy York, a Gonzaga doctoral student teaching at Whitworth University was awarded the Contingent Faculty of the Year award. Recently, Joy just discovered from the senior class coordinator that she received the following honor: The Graduating Class of 2014 has named Joy York one of its two most “Influential Professors.” As one of the most influential professors, Joy will be invited to speak at the annual Communion and Commissioning ceremony in May. Also, Joy will be asked to select a senior student from her department to speak about Joy as a professor based on their relationship and shared class experiences. What an honor, Joy. We know the honor is earned and well-deserved. All in DPLS congratulate you!!

Last Journal Club in the Fall Term

Posted by: Anna | December 1, 2013 | No Comment |

For the last time in the Fall term, Journal Club will meet this Friday, December 6, in Tilford 115 from 4-5:30 p.m. We will celebrate with sweet treats and campus-appropriate bubblies. All are welcome. For more info, visit gonzaga.edu/journalclub.

Journal Club is an opportunity for engaging with colleagues in a context of curiosity, uncertainty, and depth. Come explore interesting and unpredictable topics that stretch your horizons! It is a place for anyone in the Gonzaga community to explore ideas and research that interests them. Journal Club effectively invites our community to say, “This is what I am reading, this is what I am interested in, and/or this is what I am thinking.”

All Gonzaga students, faculty, and staff are welcome to attend. Attendees are invited to present a journal article, book chapter, or other scholarly work to colleagues, or just show up and participate in the dialogue. The transdisciplinary nature of this endeavor is meant to offer a rich context for surprise and delight. We explore key themes in leadership studies that focus on problems, questions, and/or speculations about:

  • Influence (e.g., metaphysical, physical/biological, socio-cultural)
  • Power (e.g., historical/traditional, normative, size/scale, role/reputation)
  • Purpose (e.g., meaning, intentions, teleology)

We believe that these themes are broad enough to encourage anyone from any field to participate in our conversation. Everyone who wants a chance to present will be able to do so. At the completion of presentations we engage in conversation and dialogue.
