Barbour receives
TWU’s Uhlir Fellowship
10/19/06
DENTON —
Dr. JoAnn Danelo Barbour, professor of educational leadership
at Texas Woman’s University, is the recipient of TWU’s
2007 Dr. G. Ann Uhlir Endowed Fellowship for Higher Education
Administration.
“Early in
my academic career, I had the privilege of working with Dr.
Uhlir, watching and learning about university leadership,”
Dr. Barbour said. “It is an honor to receive the fellowship,
because I believe the wheel has come full circle. I not only
have an opportunity to learn, but to continue what Dr. Uhlir
modeled.”
Dr. Barbour will
use the $1,200 award to assist in developing TWU faculty leadership
and to develop global leadership understanding in TWU faculty
and graduate students. Her plans include inviting an expert
in leadership development to speak on campus, and developing
a university faculty learning community whose focus is to
develop global leadership-learning opportunities for other
faculty members and graduate students.
The Dr. G. Ann
Uhlir Endowed Fellowship for Higher Education Administration
is designed to take beginning administrators, faculty or students
interested in administration and help them develop the leadership,
management and interpersonal skills needed to be a highly
qualified and successful academic administrator. Dr. Ann Uhlir,
founding dean of the TWU College of Health Sciences, provided
initial funding for the fellowship in 1996.
