The Rotman Initiative for Women in Business will develop a portfolio of executive programs for professional women, create tools and networks that will help women advance, and collaborate with research and advisory organizations on businesswomen's issues. As part of the initiative, three new executive education programs have been creat- ed to complement The Judy Project, which aims to advance more women into CEO positions. These include a business leadership program for women lawyers, an emerging leaders program aimed at high-performing managers, and a program for busi- nesswomen who received their train- ing outside of Canada. n City University of Seattle in Bellevue has formed an International Divi- sion and named Fernando Leon Garcia its chancellor.

Smith School of Busi- ness at the Uni- versity of Maryland in College Park has announced a $12 million Ph.D. program initiative that will increase annual doctoral stipends by 45 percent to $32,500 and also will provide research and travel support. Philanthropist Robert H. Smith contributed $6 million toward the program, matched with funds from the University of Mary- land and the business school. The goal is to attract more top students to the school's Ph.D. program and ultimately help offset the shortage of academically qualified business fac- ulty. In addition to higher stipends, the Smith School is offering its Ph.D. candidates a dissertation sup- port office staffed with a professional editor and English-language train- ing resources; research support; an increased travel budget; and state-of- the-art facilities in a new wing of the school's Van Munching Hall.
