    Original School of Education Retreat - Colorado 1968
    (1968-10)
    In the fall of 1968 Dwight Allen, the newly appointed Dean for the School of Education (now College of Education), organized an all-School retreat at a dude ranch in Colorado. Faculty and graduate students already at the School flew on a chartered flight to Colorado. They were joined there by newly appointed faculty and incoming graduate students who had not yet arrived at UMass, including many from Stanford University where Dwight was previously a faculty member. The retreat was a strategy of the new Dean to begin the process of planning for a completely new School of Education and to jumpstart the revitalization of what was at the time a small, undistinguished school. At the retreat groups of faculty and students were formed to begin designing centers, which were intended to be flexible and more responsive new units to replace traditional departments. The retreat was the birthplace of the Center for International Development (CIE). One group was charged with starting the planning for CIE. The process started in Colorado continued when the group returned to Amherst during what the Dean announced as a planning year for the revitalization of the School of Education. During the 1968-69 Academic year the CIE Group created a detailed plan for CIE, including outlines of Master’s and Doctoral degrees, detailed course syllabi, and even the admissions criteria and process for new students. (See resulting plans in the Historical Documents section.) Who can you identify in the group picture? Dwight Allen is in the back center – see the red arrow. Is that DRE in the 4th row, lower right with sun glasses? Among others in the CIE founding group who are in the picture are Steve Guild, Dale Kinsley, Hank Holmes, Joe Blackman, Cynthia Shepard-Perry, David Schimmel, Gordon Schimmel, and George Urch,
