In the summer of 2024, the college gained a new president: Dr. Gregory Little. At the time of this conversation, Dr. Little was in a moment of great beginnings: beginning his first college presidency and his time at a new institution and being in the process of meeting many new people and work partners.
We talk about what drew him to this new part of his career and what his first weeks were like. We also delve into the skills that make him a flexible and effective leader who tackles new issues constantly. We further enrich our skill set of being a practiced beginner.
Dr. Little offers a number practices that have helped him learn and grow throughout his career and he speaks directly to our students who are in their own journeys here at the college.
He also speaks to our college community of faculty and staff about his hopes for the next phase of the college that we're all embarking on together.
Join us to get to know our president better and get a glimpse of this crucial beginning phase in the life of our college.
