  • Sexual harassment prevention song

    I bumped into this song by Lauren Mayer in my Facebook feed this morning and thought I would share the cheer. While it is not about academia, it could easily apply. Happy Friday!

  • Mentoring in academe

    Mentoring plays an important role in one’s career development, no matter what role one has in an institution. When starting a job, we rely on people already in the workplace to orient us, give advice, and provide support as we learn the ins and outs of the job. Women tend to receive less mentorship than men in such situations. There is not mentorship program at Brock and we would like to explore the possibility of putting in place such a program for all women on campus. More on this soon as we will issue a call for mentors to start building a list of folks willing to enter a mentoring relationship with women on campus. We will also gather information on mentorship programs at other institutions and see what could work here at Brock. Suggestions welcome!

  • The changing face of Brock

    We are starting the new year with two more women in senior positions. Diane Dupont has started her term as Interim Dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Cheryl McCormick has started her term as Associate Dean, Graduate Studies and Research at the Faculty of Maths and Sciences, the first woman to take on this role in FoMS. Congratulations to both. It is great to see more women access senior leadership positions which may lead to a new Brock.
