Making Queens University of Charlotte into a top college

There's been a lot of change recently at Queens University of Charlotte in Myers Park. Founded in 1857 as a private university for women, Queens today competes in Division I sports and serves about 2,300 undergraduate and graduate students.

In this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, president Dan Lugo and vice president of Queens’ strategic enrollment and communications Adrienne Amador Oddi sat down with The Ledger’s Cristina Bolling on Queens' campus to discuss the university's rich history in Charlotte, its transition to Division I sports, recent enrollment growth and the future of higher education in Charlotte. The university is working to implement a plan to elevate the school's profile and to become a premier private college on a national stage.
