WAFW Facilitators 2015-2016 Academy Year About the WAFW͵ The World Academy for the Future of Women is a bold and daring leadership program focused on developing young women for leadership roles that will address and achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Begun on the campus of Sias International University in 2009, the World Academy grew from a one year program for 100 women to a multi-level three year program for women, and a Men’s Academy for the Future of Women, a program requested by men students, which now replicates the women’s program and prepares men to support the advancement of women。 ޣҾᆖ䲒 ц⭼ྣᙗᵚᶕਁኅᆖ䲒ᡀ・Ҿ 2009 ᒤˈᱟањѕ䉘བྷ㛶ⲴуѪᒤ䖫ྣᙗ䇮䇑Ⲵ亶ሬ࣋ษ䇝㓴㓷DŽ ᆖ䲒㔃ਸѝ㾯ᯩ᮷ॆਁኅ䇮䇑䈮〻ˈԕ㚄ਸഭਟᤱ㔝ਁኅⴞḷѪṨᗳˈ䙊䗷䈮าᆖҐо亩ⴞᇎ䐥ᶕ ᕅሬᒤ䖫Ӫࠝ⵰ྩԜⲴ◰ᛵ઼ᢗ⵰৫ࡋ䙐઼ᇎ⧠㠚ᡁỖᜣˈᒦᑞࣙྩԜݵ┑㠚ؑˈॿࣙྩԜ㧧ᗇᢰ 㜭ˈ啃࣡ྩԜᡀѪᆖ䲒ǃ⽮४ǃഭᇦѳ㠣ޘ⨳Ⲵ亶ሬ㘵DŽ ᆖ䲒Ӿᡀ・ѻࡍ⇿ᒤᤋ᭦ 100 ਽ᆖઈⲴаᒤࡦ亩ⴞਁኅࡠྲӺޡйњн਼ᒤ㓗ˈवᤜྣᙗᆖ䲒ǃ ⭧ᙗᆖ䲒Ⲵޘᯩսǃཊቲ⅑ษ䇝㓴㓷DŽ PURPOSE: To advance and accelerate the leadership of women worldwide. ↕ᙗⲴ䘋ྣ⨳ޘ䘋઼࣐ᘛ׳ :ᆖ䲒ⴞḷ MISSION: To empower women through the discovery of their passion, purpose, and path to success, calling forth the full expression of human possibilities through collaborative and inclusive partnerships. ᆖ䲒֯ભ˖䙊䗷ᦸᵳ઼◰࣡ྣᙗᶕ੨ᕅྩԜ᧒㍒Ӫ⭏Ⲵⴞḷˈ◰ᛵ઼䙊ᖰᡀ࣏Ⲵ䚃䐟DŽ䙊䗷ਁኅॿ ㌫ݵ࠶ਁᧈྣᙗ▌㜭DŽޣ֌઼वᇩᙗⲴਸ֌Չդ WAFW Structure World Academy members commit to a year long program that requires 8-10 hours of class room and project teamwork each week. They must participate in one or more of the World Academy Projects that address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, to create their own project and team focusing on social justice, gender equality or human rights. Members do not receive university credit for their World Academy work. We believe leadership is not for credit, rather leadership is about being socially responsible and providing a service that will enable others to advance their status in life and accelerate their ability to become a contributing member of society. Today the Academy has five separate divisions comprised of members from all class levels, freshman through senior year.

Cyd West WAFW Facilitators Members of the World Academy Facilitator Body are volunteers who have participated in a 15-18 hour orientation describing the origin and development of the World Academy and how it works. Volunteers completing the orientation then choose to participate in ways that best serve the World Academy utilizing their knowledge, networks, and skill sets. They may volunteer to seek resources, develop programs, conduct research, become mentors, provide internships, give or get financial support, attend the Annual Women's Symposium or other significant tasks to accelerate women's leadership and the work of the World Academy worldwide. Others choose to be a World Academy facilitator and make a commitment to travel to an Academy site for five weeks and deliver a four (4) week module of the World Academy curriculum, aligning their unique experience and expertise with the World Academy curriculum outcomes. Facilitators assume their own transportation costs and the host site provides housing and meals during their stay at the Academy site. No remuneration is provided for facilitator services. More than eighty facilitators have generously delivered the World Academy curriculum over the last seven years. Facilitator orientations can be requested and scheduled when a group of ten or more women or men request to participate. Organizations and associations are invited to partner with the World Academy to promote the growth of the Facilitator Body or sponsor one of their members to be a World Academy Facilitator. ᆖ䲒ሬᐸഒ䱏˖ ц⭼ྣᙗᵚᶕਁኅᆖ䲒˄ྣᙗᆖ䲒˅ⲴሬᐸԜ䜭Պ֌Ѫᘇᝯ㘵ᶕ৲࣐ሿᰦ Ҿྣ䲒ᡀ・ˈਁኅ઼䘀㩕Ⲵᦸ䈮ษ䇝DŽྩԜ䴰㾱ݸᆼᡀᦸ䈮ษ䇝ˈ❦ਾ޽䘹ᤙԕޣⲴ ӰѸṧⲴᯩᔿᶕ䘀⭘㠚ᐡⲴ⸕䇶ˈӪ䱵㖁ˈ઼ᢰ㜭ㅹ᭟ᤱྣᙗᆖ䲒DŽྩԜਟ㜭ᘇᝯ᧒ ራ䍴Ⓚˈਁኅ亩ⴞˈ䘋㹼䈳⹄ˈᡀѪሬᐸˈᨀ׋ᇎҐˈᨀ׋ᡆ㘵ᗇࡠ䍒࣑᭟ᤱˈ৲о 䘋ྣᙗ亶ሬ઼࣋ྣᙗᆖ䲒൘ц⭼׳ᒤаᓖⲴྣᙗ䇪උᡆ㘵ަԆᴹ䟽བྷ᜿ѹⲴԫ࣑ᶕ⇿ 㤳ത޵Ⲵᐕ֌DŽ ֌Ѫᆖ䲒ሬᐸⲴਖཆањ䘹ᤙቡᱟ᢯䈪ࡠѝഭ䘋㹼ѪᵏഋઘⲴྣᙗᆖ䲒亶ሬ࣋䈮 〻ᮉᦸˈሶԆԜ⤜аᰐҼⲴ㓿শ઼уъᢰ㜭઼ྣᙗᆖ䲒Ⲵ䈮〻ⴞḷ⴨㔃ਸDŽ൘ᆖ䲒ᦸ 䈮ᵏ䰤ˈሬᐸԜሶ㠚ᐡᣵ䍏Ӕ䙊ㅹ䍩⭘ˈྣᙗᆖ䲒ᨀ׋伏ᇯDŽሬᐸԜⲴ᭟ᤱ઼ᐕ֌ᱟ ᰐᣕ䞜ⲴDŽ൘䗷৫Ⲵᒤ䟼ˈᐢ㓿ᴹ䎵䗷਽ሬᐸឧមൠᶕࡠѝഭ൘ᆖ䲒ᮉᦸ䈮〻DŽ 䘋㘵㓴ᡀˈԆԜਟԕ䈧׳ᆖᦸ䈮ษ䇝ሶᱟ⭡а㓴Ӫᡆ㘵ᴤཊⲴྣᙗᡆ㘵⭧ᙗ 䘋ᮤ׳਼ޡᡆ㘵㻛ᆹᧂᡀањษ䇝㓴DŽ㓴㓷઼ॿՊਟԕᡀѪྣᙗᆖ䲒Ⲵਸ֌Չդᶕ≳ 䘋㘵DŽ׳փⲴਁኅᡆ㘵᧘㦀ԆԜⲴа਽ᡀઈᡀѪྣᙗᆖ䲒Ⲵ WORLD ACADEMY FACILITATORS ц⭼ྣᙗᵚᶕਁኅᆖ䲒ሬᐸ 2009-2010 :7Q$:J Allison Haynes Paula Shoup Melanie St.James Susan Brooks Gail Marshall Alanna Levenson Suzanne Mayo Frindt 11$. `1JR WORLD ACADEMY FACILITATORS ц⭼ྣᙗᵚᶕਁኅᆖ䲒ሬᐸ 2010-2011 $% !H@ :J1 :VC:J11Q 7JR:1.Q]7JR:1.Q] Kumi Ritchey VCC77:J :%`1VV CV7 Q:J1V`VVI:J : .7%c1CQJ $ @ WORLD ACADEMY FACILITATORS ц⭼ྣᙗᵚᶕਁኅᆖ䲒ሬᐸ 2011-2012 Joyce Brinton Judi Price Ginger Miller LyndaBridget Bishop Kelly Chui QingQing Katrina Whitecavage Shirley Osborne H@ Ruth Reese WORLD ACADEMY FACILITATORS ц⭼ྣᙗᵚᶕਁኅᆖ䲒ሬᐸ 2012-2013 Shirley Osborne Dwight Duckins Robert Ford LyndaJerrie UeberleBishop Cathy Adams Steven Sumner &H$8( *Ann Schubert Eileen Brill Wagner Kevin Brown Kathy Brown Andrea Conner 2013-2014 WORLD ACADEMY FACILITATORS Jacqueline Freeman * Joyce Brinton DwightLynda Bishop Duckins Rachel Vidmar Steven Sumner Joni Samples Carol Dickson Manule Guillot Catherine Jennings Ann Schubert Elizabeth Ursic Kyna Rosen + 2014-2015 WORLD ACADEMY FACILITATORS Jerrie Ueberle Jacqueline Freeman & 7JR:1.Q]Sharon Liu G + Laura Nitsos Sunneye Phillips ManuleJulia Curcio Guillot CatherineDave Kosanke Jennings *Ann Schubert CatherineAnn Schubert Jennings Elizabeth$+ Ursic AnnKyna Schubert Rosen +Sheila Key Joyce Brinton Sharyn* Mathieu *(@@ $@8!

These relationships begin when members are in the World Academy and often continue after graduation. Most of the mentoring is virtual, which means Skype, email and WeChat. All of the mentoring is meaningful, providing a bridge between age, culture and experience. Repeatedly, mentors gain as much from the experience as the members. They learn about themselves, as well as the deep reward of supporting young women and men grow as individuals and leaders. ц⭼ྣᙗᵚᶕਁኅᆖ䲒ޘ⨳ሬᐸ亩ⴞ䙊䗷ᔪ・аሩаሬᐸᆖઈޣ㌫ᶕᑞࣙᆖ⭏ᇎ⧠ᴤྭⲴᨀॷˈ ᤱDŽབྷ䜘࠶ሬᐸᱟ䙊䗷㓯к˄6N\SH㿶仁؍㌫ᡀ・Ҿᆖઈ൘ṑᵏ䰤ˈҏሶ൘ަ∅ъਾ㔗㔝ޣ䘉⿽䖵ሬ ⭥䈍ǃ䛞Ԧ઼ᗞؑ˅ㅹᯩᔿоᆖઈ䘋㹼⋏䙊Ӕ⍱DŽ䘉⿽ᴹ䪸ሩᙗⲴ䖵ሬᱟ䶎ᑨᴹ᜿ѹⲴˈѪн਼ᒤ 㓚ǃ᮷ॆ㛼Ჟǃ⭏⍫䰵শⲴӪԜᨀ׋ҶањᶱྭⲴ⋏䙊ẕằDŽ ਼ṧˈਇ⳺Ҿ䈕亩ⴞⲴнӵӵᱟᆖ⭏ˈሬᐸԜҏ㜭ཏӾѝ᭦㧧ᖸཊDŽԆԜᗇԕᴤྭⲴҶ䀓㠚ᡁˈ ҏ䙊䗷㿱䇱ᒤ䖫Ӫ֌Ѫањ亶ሬ㘵ˈањ⤜・њփⲴཊṧᡀ䮯ᯩᔿᶕ᭦㧧ᡀቡоௌᛖDŽ WAFW Awards ᆖ䲒㦓䂹 WAFW Internship Program ᇎҐ⭏亩ⴞ The World Academy Internship Program is essential to moving the knowledge and skills developed in through World Academy curriculum into action in our communities, country and throughout the world.

Sias University is the first solely owned American university in Central China. It is designed to develop well-rounded trans-national professionals by combining both Chinese educational philosophies with a Western model of education, providing students with a fresh learning perspective and alternative ways of thinking about business and liberal arts. During this past academic year, the university launched the World Academy for the Future of Women, a rigorous leadership training program conceived by Jerrie Ueberle, founder of the Phoenix, Ariz.-based nonprofit, Global Interactions (www.globalinteractions.org). The program engages women in discovering their purpose and passion in life, and inspires, informs and instructs them in finding their path to success through acquiring skills and confidence to develop as campus, community, national or global leaders.

  • Annual Report 2014
    UNIVERSITY OF GUAM UNIBETSEDÅT GUAHAN Society of Emeritus Professors & Retired Scholars The Society’s Eighteenth Annual Report (2014) Compiled by Cynthia B. Sajnovsky, Professor Emerita of Music, Secretary, SEPRS UOG SEPRS An Overview of the Society’s Eighteenth Annual Report (2014) I want to highlight the vitality that members of the Society of Emeritus Professors and Retired Scholars (SEPRS) have shown in numerous academic, research, and service activities. For many of the UOG community – but not all – their awareness of professors emeriti and retired scholars is “out of sight, out of mind.” Yet this report demonstrates how retired faculty continue to help the University achieve its mission for our community and the region. You can locate specific faculty which are listed alphabetically, and in- time we plan to insert a “search-link” function so you can easily click on a name. SEPRS has 53 current members, of whom half live on Guam (26) and half live off-island across the nation (27). Some of us show the affects of our age, yet3/4ths (38) are active members who participate in the Society’s quarterly meetings, donate to the University, or at least report their activities. In 2014, using IT teleconferencing video technology, we have had five (5) off-island members regularly join and participate in the Society’s quarterly meetings held in Emeritus Hall on-island. So what do these retirees do? Well nearly one-third of the members listed in this report are teaching and mentoring university students. For example at UOG that includes Filomena Contoria, George Kallingal, Lourdes Klitzke, and Milagros Moguel, and off-island take a look at Joyce McCauley.

  • GAP YEAR in CHINA with the WORLD ACADEMY for the FUTURE of WOMEN
    GAP YEAR IN CHINA with the WORLD ACADEMY FOR THE FUTURE OF WOMEN At Sias International University through collaboration with Global Interactions “Discovering your passion and purpose enables you to find your voice, take action and create a life you never dreamed possible.” Jerrie Ueberle “探索激情和目标,能让你发现自己的心声,行动起来,创造一个梦想不到的人生。” ——杰瑞·尤伯利 www.wafw.org 2 WHAT IS A WAFW GAP YEAR? A Gap Year is an opportunity for high school graduates and/or university students to experience another culture and to widen their perspective while advancing their aca- demic careers. The World Academy for the Future of Women (WAFW) partnered with SIAS International University to make this experience even richer for Gap Year students. WAFW enables student members to find their passion, purpose and path to success. Members practice leadership in action and learn what it takes to become a global citizen and leader. Students will gain a broader perspective for what is possible in choosing their major and potential careers to envision their future and the path to get there. Why CHINA? One in four people on the planet are Chinese. SIAS International University is an ‘East meets West’ campus where students speak English and are eager to learn more about the west. The exchange with American and western students is ro- bust with real time learning and relationship building in the fastest growing economy in the world. Immersion in Mandarin accelerates and deepens learning and the ability to connect authentically with this ancient and dynamic culture. LEARN MORE: World Academy
