IU Dental School Faculty Member Accepted into National Leadership Institute
Dr. L. Jack Windsor, associate professor of oral biology at the IU School of Dentistry, has been accepted into the American Dental Education Association (ADEA) Leadership Institute's class of 2009.
The institute is a year-long fellowship designed to prepare the nation's most promising individuals at academic dental institutions for future leadership roles in dental and higher education. The program has four phases, including a legislative workshop that will require the fellows to visit Congressional offices on Capitol Hill. ADEA is the nation's primary organization for dental educators and is headquartered in Washington, D.C.
Windsor came to IUSD from the University of Alabama in 1998 and shortly thereafter accepted an additional adjunct position with the IU medical school's Anatomy and Cell Biology department. He serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Dental Research. He has chaired IUPUI's Faculty Council Planning Committee, and will assume the presidency of the IU dental school's Faculty Council this summer. He was a 2007 recipient of IUPUI's Glenn W. Irwin, Jr., M.D., Experience Excellence Recognition Award.
Two other IU dental faculty members have contributed to the ADEA Leadership Institute, which was established in 2000: Dr. Dominique Galli, associate professor of oral biology, is in the current fellowship class, and Dr. Joan Kowolik, assistant professor of pediatric dentistry, was a fellow in 2004.
The 2009 fellowship program commences at the ADEA annual session in Dallas in March 2008.
