CBO Craig Hadley on Crafting Diversity and Learning from Failure

Craig Hadley serves as Vice President for Finance and Administration and Treasurer for Husson University in Bangor, Maine. This week on the show, Hadley joins Megan Strand for a conversation on the pressures of attempting to diversify in a state challenged with a paucity of diversity itself. As a result, Hadley has instituted a number of interesting strategies from which we can all learn. 

“What I’ve tried to do here is build an internal feeder system,” he says. “We’ve been active in building a network of graduate assistants with external experience and internships. For student employees we look to hire and bolster into our workforce, we look to those students with external experience who can be job-ready.” 

Join us this week for a conversation with Craig Hadley as he takes us through his efforts to promote a culture of learning from failure, developing talent, and improving communication across the institution and beyond.
