  1. University of MichiganChemistry William R. Roush, Chair Robyn Gdula, Graduate Student Gorka Peris, Graduate Student

  2. UM CID Agenda • Broadening professional development • for students seeking academic careers • for students seeking industrial careers • Supporting diverse workforce • for women in academic careers • in general, for underrepresented groups • Diversify post-baccalaureate options

  3. CSIE: Broadening Scholarship • Chemical Sciences at the Interface of Education • What: Future faculty development spanning undergraduate to post-doctoral students (i.e., develop stewardship in the ‘usual’ way: sustained education leads to independence) • How:Adds “training grant” supplement for those PhD students interested in academia • Why: Empowering student control & choice, and address issue of professional competency for future faculty members: as teacher, but also as mentor, advisor, author, grantee, department and university citizen in different settings…

  4. CSIE: Program Outline 1 Fall: rotations, courses, GSI, seminar, brown-bag Winter: rotations, courses, CSIE Fellow, seminar, brown-bag, cognates, instructional project, recruiting & representing UM at national meetings Sp/Su: join research group, CSIE Fellow, project planning, begin attending/presenting at meetings 2 Fall: courses, research 50% GSI/50% Fellow, implement project, lead seminar, brown-bag Winter: research, seminar, brown-bag, assessment, documentation Sp/Su: candidacy, continue service activities 3+ continue:CSIE community, UM courses, prof. activities, consult/exposure outside UM, hybrid thesis

  5. CSIE: Ryan Sweeder (3.75 yr) NEW REACTIONS OF GERMYLENES WITH KETONES AND ASSESSMENT OF STUDIO GENERAL CHEMISTRY Chapter I. Introduction 1 Chapter II. Conversion of Phenones to Conjugated Trienes Via Germylene Cycloaddition 9 Chapter III. Germylene Reactions with Quinones 29 Chapter IV. Activation and Catalytic Partial Hydrogenation of Benzophenone 57 Chapter V. Exploring Two Reactions of Ketones with Ge[CH(SiMe3)2]2: CH and OH Insertion 66 Chapter VI. Development of Studio Chemistry at the University of Michigan Chapter VII. Equilibrium Study in Studio General Chemistry 123 Chapter VIII. Student Attitudes Toward Studio Chemistry157

  6. CSIE: Brett Duersch (4.75 yr) SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A NOVEL WIDE PORE ZEOLITE Chapter 1 Introduction Chapter 2 Synthesis of IFR-Type Zeolites Optimized for Spectroscopic Study Chapter 3 Syntheses of Al and B zeolite catalysts with the IFR Structure Chapter 4 Molecular Oxygen as a Probe of Zeolite Pore Accessibility using Solid-State 29Si NMR Chapter 5 Two Boron Environments Observed in Zeolite SSZ-42 by 1H and 11B MAS NMR Chapter 6 Multiple Boron Framework Sites Observed in Zeolite SSZ-42 Chapter 7 Solvation Controlled Steady-State Proton Transfer in Boron Zeolites Chapter 8 Promoting Student Learning in a Large General Chemistry Course Chapter 9 Laying a Foundation for the Scholarship of Teaching through Graduate Student Instructor Training Chapter 10 Conclusions

  7. CSIE: 1998 - present • Evolved from a faculty member’s scholarly program - extension of opportunities via GAANN • Earliest discussions regarding a CSIE PhD program with Carnegie Scholars • Discussed by UM Chem Graduate Committee • Critics: dilution of effort, time, not needed, distraction • Supporters: funding, recruitment, support, motivation, more complete attitude towards education • Key: student ownership & choice • Key: incremental growth • Key: open discussion

  8. CSIE: next steps (retreat - 6/13/03) • Invent better upper level engagement • Invent infrastructure for an “instructional research and development” group within the department - articulation, mentorship, scholarly growth • Invent post-BS & post-PhD support network • Possibly provide guidance for an expansion project (multidisciplinary & international)

  9. ADVANCE: • NSF: increase representation and success of women in academic careers • Reduce accumulation of disadvantage • Department and faculty issues trickle down • Policy: recruitment, retention, P&T • Climate: survey faculty, students, staff • Assess, evaluate, & act: strategic, public • Overlap with CSIE in general • Joint program activities (seminars, brown-bag) • CID, Woodrow Wilson, other higher educational arenas

  10. Moving the Graduate Program Outside the [PhD] Box • Dual mentor post-doctoral program for future faculty • Cooperative site experiences (national & international--e.g., IGERT) • Combined PhD degrees (Chemistry & Education; MACRO) • Establish BS/MS & MS/X degrees
