women faculty networkinG
The Women Faculty Networking Group is designed to bring together women faculty in an informal setting, to become acquainted with each other and discuss topics of common interest. This group is open to all women faculty and instructors, including clinician educators. Beginning in June 2008, the Women Faculty Networking Group will meet for lunch from 12:00pm to 1:30pm on the first Wednesday of each month in the Bing Dining Room. Buffet lunch will be on a drop-in basis—just show up and sign in any time between 12:00 and 1:30pm, and enjoy lunch with your colleagues. The Women Faculty Networking Group has also formed a Facebook group. For more information about this group and future networking lunches, please contact Lydia Espinosa at 724-0239 or lydiae@stanford.edu.

in the spotlight
2008 Faculty Fellows Participant The Faculty Fellows Leadership Program has been a highlight of my experience as a junior faculty at Stanford. Dr. Valantine and her staff deserve much credit in puting together a superb fellowship experience. We learned about the career journey from a distinguished group of Stanford leaders. I especially enjoyed the small group experience where I got to actively engage with my mentor and other junior faculty colleagues. Learning to recognize my individual strengths, weaknesses, and blind spots have enable me to be a more effective person. I deeply appreciate the opportunity and would recommend the program highly!
