Leslie Roeder, D.D.S. associate dean for academic
affairs and associate professor in the Department of
Diagnostic Sciences at The University of Texas Dental
Branch at Houston, has been named a fellow in one of
the nation’s premiere leadership development
programs in health professions education.
The Leadership Institute of the American Dental Education
Association (ADEA), selects promising faculty members
at academic dental institutions and guides them through
intensive development in leadership and organization
theory, higher education management, team and network
building, and other aspects of personal and professional
growth.
“We are delighted to welcome Dr. Roeder to the
2006-07 class of ADEA’s Leadership Institute,” said
Kenneth Kalkwarf, D.D.S., current ADEA president and
dean of The University of Texas Health Science Center
at San Antonio Dental School. “Faculty members
at our academic dental institutions are a precious
resource, and these fellows are among the nation’s
most promising dental educators. With the Institute,
they will gain the tools to grow as academic leaders
and take their careers to a new level, at the same
time they are positioning themselves to make significant
contributions to our profession.” |
Over the course of the year, fellows conduct interviews
and participate in activities at their home institutions,
where they are mentored by their deans and other academic
leaders. Congratulations to Dr. Roeder.

advice to help define or reach your goals, shared with
you "how the system works," or taken the time to introduce
you to the “right” people? That’s a mentor!
