Episode description
I’m so honored to welcome our guest today, as she is a testament to female leadership and doing things the right way. Dr. Connie Book is Elon University’s 9th president, elected in 2018. In March of 2015, she was named the first female Provost and Dean of Citadel College, one of six senior military schools. We discuss myths and trends in higher education and her predictions when it comes to the future of work with the rise of remote access.
