On this episode of Deans Counsel, Jim Ellis and Dave Ikenberry speak with Bernard "Bernie" Banks, Director of Rice University’s Doerr Institute for New Leaders (and a Clinical Professor of Management within the University’s Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Business).  The mission of the Doerr Institute “…is to elevate the leadership capacity of Rice students and to improve the practice of leader development in higher education.”  

Most recently, Bernie served on the faculty and senior leadership team at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management from 2016-2024 prior to arriving at Rice.

Bernie retired from the U.S. Army in 2016 as a Brigadier General after having successfully led West Point’s Department of Behavioral Sciences & Leadership in his final assignment.  In addition to having studied leadership extensively, he has led multiple military units ranging in size from 10 to over 3000 people.  

In this instructive conversation, Bernie relates to our hosts some of the experiences he's gleaned through his decades as an inspiring leader, touching on topics such as:

- his objectives as Director of the Doerr Institute
- how he measures effectiveness
- acquainting students with the leadership mindset
- creative approaches to leadership development

69: Bernie Banks (Rice) on Leadership Development at Large Scale

MAIA (or Gaby) is a DJ based in Naarm/Melbourne, originally from Indonesia, with a growing passion for deep grooves and fast-moving techno. Her sets explore hardgroove, raw percussion, hypnotic techno, and dubby textures—music that pulls you in and doesn’t let go. Built for dark rooms, late nights, and deep focus on the dancefloor.

Inspired by underground dance culture and genre-shaping artists like Theo Parrish, Laurent Garnier, Jeff Mills, and Mall Grab, MAIA blends intensity with emotion, creating a sound that’s both driven and deeply personal.

She entered the scene through YourShot 2025, and since then, she's been on a climb—training hard, experimenting boldly, and finding her voice behind the decks. Still early in the game, but already bringing heat, confidence, and a clear sense of direction.

In this Bell Work Talk, Nancy Blaney and Claire Coughlin of the Animal Welfare Institute will discuss the connection between human and animal welfare and implications for the practice of Forensic Nursing. By incorporating questions about animals into their work, practitioners can identify people and pets at risk, positively impact service engagement, and make the most of available resources.

Claire Coughlin: Claire Coughlin (she/her) has a master’s degree in human development and family studies and extensive experience in both social services and animal advocacy. For over a decade, she specialized in evidence-based education and support services for children and families impacted by abuse and neglect. She now serves as the director of the Companion Animals Program for the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) and oversees AWI’s work on the link between animal maltreatment and human violence, including the Safe Havens for Pets program which supports domestic violence survivors with pets.

Nancy Blaney has advocated on behalf of animals for more than 40 years and is currently Director of Government Affairs at the Animal Welfare Institute. She works with federal and state legislators and regulators, the law enforcement community, veterinarians, and other stakeholder groups to improve animal welfare, the prosecution of animal cruelty crimes, and public awareness of the relationship between animal abuse and other forms of violence, particularly all forms of family violence. Nancy serves on a variety of advisory bodies and has co-authored several articles and chapters.
