Podcast: Leaders on Leadership with Jay Lemons
Jay Lemons is joined by Dr. Melody Rose, who earlier this year became Chancellor of the Nevada System of Higher Education. Dr. Rose shares her story as the first in her family to earn a college degree and discusses how that experience shaped her perspective on access to higher education. She also discusses the value of effective communication strategies and what to look for in building a strong team.
Jay Lemons talks with Dr. Damián Fernández, President of Eckerd College (FL). Dr. Fernández shares his thoughts on higher education as an engine for social mobility and the importance of understanding the culture and ethos of an institution in order to be authentic and inspirational as its leader.
Through The Rutgers Center for Minority Serving Institutions (CMSI), Senior Consultant Sharon Herzberger is preparing the next generation of MSI presidents by mentoring aspiring leaders in the higher education, non-profit, and business sectors. The Rutgers Center highlights the contributions of MSIs and advances their mission to serve disadvantaged communities. This month, Sharon will serve on the CMSI panel “Women in Leadership,” recounting lessons she learned throughout her academic career, including 13 years as president of Whittier College.
