    Case Study: Developing, Implementing, and Evaluating a One-Day Leadership Conference to Foster Women’s Leadership in Healthcare
    (University of Minnesota, College of Pharmacy, 2014) Fierke, Kerry K.; Kading, Margarette L.
    Despite women increasingly entering the healthcare field, they still face barriers to advancing in leadership ranks within healthcare. To address the need for leadership development among women in healthcare, the Center for Leading Healthcare Change (CLHC) at the University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy piloted a one-day conference in November 2012 entitled “Women Impacting Healthcare: Decide to Make a Difference.” This conference utilized an interactive agenda: each speaker’s presentation was followed by hands-on leadership activities during which attendees developed their own personal leadership visions. Specific leadership activities were designed to build upon one another and help design a leadership pathway. All activities were consistent as they included personal reflection and interaction with others. Attendees were asked to complete two evaluations, one immediately at the conclusion of the conference, and another two-weeks post. The conference committee achieved the goal of delivering the conference objectives. As the Women Impacting Healthcare committee continues to look for ways to develop leaders in healthcare, the focus of future conferences will also evolve to include the needs of women currently in leadership roles, as well as ways women can grow into leadership roles.

    OFR13-02, Three-Dimensional Geological Mapping
    (2013) Thorleifson, Harvey; Berg, Dick; Russell, Hazen
    This workshop is designed for those constructing 3D geological maps and numerical models. Our objective is to bring together people dealing with large datasets, and who must integrate variable quality data with high quality data to construct 3D geological models for application such as hydrogeology, engineering, and energy resource assessment. Topics include (1) methods of model construction, (2) managing diverse data of variable quality, (3) ensuring data interoperability, (4) visualization tools, and (5) interaction between mappers, hydrogeologists, energy and mineral resource geologists, engineering geologists, and engineers. The emphasis is on deposits that host potable groundwater, as well as sedimentary basins as a whole.
