Charlotte Bright knew that only a very special job could lure her away from her 13-year career and associate dean position at the University of Maryland School of Social Work in Baltimore.
She was open to a leadership opportunity at a social work program that was focused on social justice and anti-oppression, with an emphasis on applied research. It couldn’t be too large a program, because she would want to stay closely engaged with the faculty, staff and students.
Then Bright saw a job opening at Colorado State University on a listserv from a professional association.
