A well-structured and efficiently-organized Academic\/Faculty Senate, with clearly-designed standing committees are essential components of a sound system of academic governance and are essential for the effective representation of faculty in shared-governance. The Academic Senate serves as the vehicle for shared-governance.<\/p>\n<p>The Provost\u2019s Shared-Governance Travel Stipend Award is designed encourage faculty participation in the governance of the university, thereby not only promoting but also strengthening our systems and processes of shared-governance. An informed faculty, who understand the principles of faculty and shard-governance, are an empowered faculty and will serve as a strong foundation and a valuable partner for effective governance on our campus.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the primary objective of this travel stipend is to develop faculty members\u2019 leadership capacities in the governance of the university through their involvement and seeking election to the Academic Senate or the standing committees of the faculty handbook. . At this institute, you will learn about topics such as shared-governance in academia; faculty advocacy through understanding and strengthening faculty handbooks; effective meetings and parliamentary procedure, how to increase faculty participation in academic decision-making, amongst others.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Previous Award Recipients<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"Colleen Talbot\" src=\"\/media\/westernu\/images\/staff\/egoering.jpg\" alt=\"Portrait of Colleen Talbot\" width=\"100\" height=\"125\" \/><strong>2017-2018<\/strong><br \/>\nEdward Goering, DO, DVM, MSHPE<br \/>\nAssistant Professor, College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific-Northwest<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"Colleen Talbot\" src=\"\/media\/westernu\/images\/staff\/mhovorka.jpg\" alt=\"Portrait of Colleen Talbot\" width=\"100\" height=\"125\" \/><strong>2013-2014<\/strong><br \/>\nMichelle Hovorka, M.S.<br \/>\nInstructor, College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific\u2013Northwest<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":0,"parent":27,"menu_order":34,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-5392","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/osteopathic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/osteopathic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/osteopathic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/osteopathic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/osteopathic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5392"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/osteopathic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5392\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15247,"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/osteopathic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5392\/revisions\/15247"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/osteopathic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stagewp.westernu.edu\/osteopathic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
