ProQuest Dissertations and Theses: Dissertation 9427697. 1991 Diploma of the Faculty of Fine Arts in Music: The University of Calgary (Alberta) Focus: Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble. 1985 Master of Music in Instrumental Conducting: Northwestern University (Evanston IL) 1983 Bachelor of Music in Music Education: Western Washington University (Bellingham WA) Academic Positions 2004– Duquesne University (Pittsburgh PA) Associate Professor (2007–), Instrumental Music Education. Assistant Professor (2004–07), Instrumental Music Education. Chair (2015–), Department of Music Education and Music Therapy. Chair (2004–15), Department of Music Education. 1997–04 University of Oregon (Eugene) Assistant Professor, Instrumental Music Education. 1995–97 Ball State University (Muncie IN) Assistant Professor, Instrumental Music Education. 1994–95 The Ohio State University (Columbus) Lecturer, Music Education. Administration Accomplishments Accreditation: Consistently successful accreditation cycles—including university, school, and department levels: Middle States Commission on Higher Education, National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), CAEP (formerly NCATE), annual and major reviews by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE), and American Music Therapy Association. Results are pending for a 2017 NASM reaccreditation cycle; a 2017 PDE Major Review was successful. Assessment: Systematic assessment points serving as gateways are embedded across department programs. Examples include Freshman Interviews, Sophomore Evaluations, and Junior Proficiencies for all undergraduate and post-baccalaureate music-education majors— in addition to state-required tests for post-graduation certification. Annual reports are provided to the university for all undergraduate and graduate programs, articulating intended and actual outcomes (along with supportive evidence). An anticipated project in support of assessment efforts is a new Alumni Survey. Budgets: Manage and balance annual department budgets, with a primary focus on faculty support (e.g., conferences and professional development); curricular resources (e.g., classroom and technique instruments); student preparation (e.g., guest faculty and professional-association events); and staff needs (e.g., office equipment). Collaborate with upper administration for other, significant department needs (e.g., faculty, equipment, and infrastructure). The 2017– 18 academic year marks a university transition to a decentralized budget model. Curricula: Completed a comprehensive retooling of the undergraduate/post-baccalaureate Music Education curriculum—addressing university core and state certification requirements while adding new degree courses per faculty guidance (Eurhythmics for Music Educators, Piano for Choral Music Educators, Teaching Lab, and a series of eight major methods courses). In addition, the combined expertise between Music Therapy and Music Education led to the creation of a new undergraduate course—Inclusive Teaching Strategies for the Music Classroom—to address emerging state requirements for Special Education. The process involved faculty, alumni, and community stakeholders. 1 8/24/17 PAUL F. DOERKSEN, PH.D. Curriculum Vitae Administration: Accomplishments, Continued Facilities and Equipment: New faculty and staff offices—and a major Music Education instrument storage facility consolidating and securing inventory—were among large-scale building renovations addressing ensemble rehearsal space, chamber/solo performance venue, video/sound recording (providing on-campus experiences for students), and consolidated teaching areas for Music Education. A recent $100,000 university grant provided significant replacements and additions of music instruments (brass, string, percussion, and woodwind); secured funds for classroom technology (including the addition of a Smart Board for the Music Education’s general music methods sequence). Faculty and Staff: Created a new full-time, tenure line for Early Childhood/Elementary General Music Education; chaired the national, good-faith search. (The colleague hired recently received tenure and promotion.) Created a new Administrative Assistant position for Music Education. (The position is now filled, providing department-wide support.) Created four new adjunct positions for undergraduate/post-baccalaureate courses (in tandem with curricular revisions—Eurhythmics for Music Education, Voice for Music Education I/II, Vocal/Choral Methods, Marching Band Techniques), along with three new supervisor positions for student teachers (Band, General Music, Strings/Orchestra). Chaired a successful, national, good-faith search for a full-time, tenure-line Director of Choral Activities. The new colleague has now completed her second year, working toward third-year review and eventual tenure decision. Finally, a national, tenure-line search for a collaborative position between my department (specifically Music Therapy) and the School of Nursing was successfully concluded—with a new colleague joining effective Fall 2017. Student Recruitment: Outreach efforts among regional school districts, state and regional professional events, and a wide alumni network support the consistent attainment of annual enrollment targets. Further, matriculates meet rigorous department standards (demonstrated through audition results) and are often among the top-tier of entering students across the university (when comparing SAT scores). Beyond local and regional efforts, faculty work together on behalf of prospective students (and in support of efforts from the Music Admissions Office) in communication (calls and e-mails); campus visits (class attendance, individual meetings, studio lessons); and interviews and informational sessions during audition days. Parents are welcomed and involved in all stages. Professional Development External Organizations: American Council on Education (ACE) / Council of Independent Colleges (CIC): ACE Department Chairs Workshop (2010, Arlington VA): Chairing the Academic Department. CIC Department and Division Chair Workshop (2014, Charlotte NC). ACE topics from among managing conflict, legal issues, faculty and staff evaluations, effective decision-making, developing a collegial environment, and program assessment; CIC focus on developing institution-wide perspectives, communication and collaboration, and strategic planning—with attention to admissions, faculty development, and student affairs. Conversation and group work across the two workshops further addressed budget and resource management, curricular leadership, and broad-scale planning. Duquesne University: Academic Chair Series (2004–Present). An annual slate of conversations, panel discussions, and workshops designed for university department chairs covering (among other topics) budget management, promotion and tenure process, junior faculty mentorship, performance counseling, community building within the department, effective faculty peer reviews, and reflected best-self portrait. While clarifying and supporting university policies and practices, these many opportunities provide an essential forum for department chairs across campus to discuss concerns and share approaches in the administration of their respective departments.

  • This Book Comes on the 100Th Anniversary of the 19Th Amendment to the United States Constitution
    This book comes on the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution. Since then, women have taken their rightful place alongside men in crafting the laws that govern our land. We hope this effort honors all the women who have dedicated themselves to serving the people of the Commonwealth in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. From the first eight women who were elected after the passage of the 19th Amendment, to the record number of women who took office in the House in the 2019-20 Legislative Session — all of their dedication and leadership have inspired Pennsylvanians for a century. Bryan Cutler The Speaker One hundred yearsIntroduction ago, women in Pennsylvania and across the country were given the right to vote. The 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified on August 26, 1920. Two years following this historic event, on November 22, 1922, eight women were elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. Today there are 55 female legislators comprising one-quarter of the chamber’s population. This book commemorates and celebrates nearly a century of women’s involvement in the legislature by providing a biography of every woman who has served. Pennsylvania’s Provincial Assembly, today known as the House of Representatives, was created by William Penn in 1682. It is difficult to imagine that for the first 238 years of the legislature’s existence, women were not permitted to vote, let alone hold public office. As you will read in this book, women began mobilizing in the 1830s. Initially their efforts focused on anti-slavery, and later, on the right to vote.
