Finding intellectual leaders (instead of middle managers) to be campus leaders is increasingly difficult. Why? Panelists discuss their paths to leadership and their strategies for creating colleges and universities where diverse students, staffs, and faculties can thrive. They’ll also share advice with junior and midcareer colleagues about the kinds of experiences and choices that lay the groundwork for leadership positions.
