Redefining Higher Education Leadership
What do you get when you ask several of your mentors to join your podcast? A beautiful bouquet of knowledge.
In the latest episode of Beyond the Syllabus: Pedagogy and Purpose, I sit down with three phenomenal higher education leaders: Dr. Tarra Ellis, Dean of the Thayer School of Education at Wingate University, Dr. Carrie Hoefferle, VP and Dean of the Cannon College of Arts and Sciences at Wingate University, and Laura Hunt, Provost and Chief Academic Officer at Bluegrass Community and Technical College and former Provost at Wingate University to pull back the curtain on what it truly takes to rise through the ranks.
The journey from the classroom to the administrative suite is rarely a straight line. For many women in academia, it is an intentional, evolving path marked by unique triumphs, hidden institutional challenges, and a continuous reassessment of identity. Together, they share an insightful roadmap for faculty members considering chair, dean, and administrative positions, including:
The Ascent: From Teacher-Scholar to Administrator
