Leadership Cowley County Offering Workshop With Dr. Peterson-Veatch

The Leadership Cowley County Board of Directors invites you to attend a workshop of self discovery.

Dr. Ross Peterson-Veatch will lead the workshop using the “Immunity to Change” method. The workshop is planned for Saturday, June 11, 2022 from 8:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m. at Wroten Hall on the Southwestern College campus, Winfield.

A nominal $10 registration fee covers the workshop, materials and a continental breakfast.

“We are excited to offer this in-person workshop to help area community members continue on their leadership path,” Leadership Cowley County Chair Cody O’Brien, said. “The Immunity to Change method was developed by Harvard University Professors Dr. Robert Kegan and Dr. Lisa Lahey to help individuals overcome the obstacles their beliefs – along with the collective mind-sets in our organizations – combine to create as barriers to real change. We are fortunate Dr. Peterson-Veatch is trained in this method and willing to lead the training.”

Ross Peterson-Veatch is Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College, and Professor of Folklore at Southwestern College in Winfield.

In 2021 Dr. Peterson-Veatch was selected by the American Conference of Academic Deans (ACAD) as the winner of their annual Excellence in Academic Leadership Award. Before coming to Southwestern in 2017, he served in various administrative roles at Goshen College in Goshen, Indiana.

Dr. Peterson-Veatch began his administrative career in 2001 at Indiana University Bloomington’s (IUB) Kelley School of Business as Instructional Consultant focused on improvement of classroom teaching practice.

He was also a faculty member at IUB in the Liberal Arts and Management Program, and has held faculty appointments at Earlham College, Goucher College, and Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI).
