  1. Update on Professional Education Initiative Professor Keith Alexander

  2. Objectives of professional education initiative • Create new, technology-based executive education offerings for areas that leverage the College of Chemistry’s world-class expertise in chemistry and chemical engineering • Create and foster a greater number of robust and mutually beneficial industry-college relationships • Create new, substantial revenue streams that can be put to a variety of discretionary uses within the college College of Chemistry Board of Advisors Meeting

  3. College of Chemistry courses fills a specific niche in professional education instruction CONCEPTUAL High Technical training College of Chemistry Executive Education Courses • Sustainable Leadership Practice (3-day) • Green Chemistry Strategy (3-day) UCB College of Chemistry Courses Technical/technology content of course Traditional executive education Low Function Enterprise Scope of course Source: Product Development Program College of Chemistry Board of Advisors Meeting

  7. Selected quotes from Dow workshop participants “Workshop was a real transformation for me. Day 1: No way bioplastics in case study should work. Day 2: Bioplastic really possible with collaboration along supply chain.” “Let’s establish a regular check-in 2-3 times during the year – here’s what we are doing, what are you doing?” “I just completed the Sustainability Leadership sessions at Berkeley. All three days were fantastic; thought-provoking and inspirational. I leave Berkeley inspired to lead with aspirations to be a Sustainability Leader for a business with a sustainability-principled strategy.” College of Chemistry Board of Advisors Meeting

  8. Summary and path forward • Agreed to conduct second sustainable leadership workshop for Dow Chemical and it suppliers and customers on May 15-17, 2012 • Joint proposal with Berkeley Center for Green Chemistry under review at Genentech for development of green chemistry tools (e.g., solvent selection guide) and implementation plan (including training workshops) • Business development effort over next 6 months will focus on biopharmaceutical industry for custom workshops on green chemistry and sustainable leadership practice • Evaluate potential of “open market” green chemistry workshops in partnership with Haas Executive Education College of Chemistry Board of Advisors Meeting
