Dr. Susana Peña understands the role of faculty administrators. As director of the School of Cultural and Critical Studies and a faculty member in the Department of Ethnic Studies, Peña has experienced the progression from faculty to administrator and admits this transformation at colleges and universities across the globe often occurs without sufficient training.
With a plan to advance her leadership skills in her faculty-administrator role, Peña accepted the recommendation from Dr. Raymond Craig, dean of the College of Arts & Sciences, to attend the Higher Education Resource Services (HERS) Summer Institute at Bryn Mawr College this summer.
The institute is an intensive, two-week program that focuses on helping advance women to senior leadership positions throughout the ranks of faculty and staff. Peña, who was one of 56 participants at the Bryn Mawr session, said the experience was invaluable and helped start to define her own pathway to leadership. She had the opportunity to learn from the skilled women who led the sessions as well as from other institute participants, who shared their own perspectives and challenges.
