This conversation will be led by Dr. Phoebe Haddon, Chancellor Emerita of the University of Rutgers – Camden. Her discussion will be framed around the following three tenets:
- Like the arc of justice, one’s perspective on problem-solving can bend wide.
- Leadership building is critical. Each of us needs opportunities to imagine ourselves as leaders.
- Team building is an art. It takes patience and hard work.
In this second session, Rebecca Chopp, Chancellor Emerita from the University of Denver, will reflect on lessons learned from her leadership journey:
- Her personal perspective on becoming a president includes seizing opportunities and recognizing your calling.
- The unique position and multi-faceted role of the president can be shown through the metaphor of kaleidoscope and periscope.
- Your creativity will not only drive your vision and transformation but also how you empower and manage relationships, represent the institution, and go about fundraising.
- How the joy of continual learning, finding support, and self-care will sustain you throughout your leadership career.
