Chelsea is currently the casting director for "Love on the Spectrum, but when she was little, Chelsea would spend her time imitating characters and singing songs. This is all in spite of the fact that she was diagnosed with Autism and had to work harder than most at communicating her thoughts and feelings. All of that work paid off and she became a communication major at California Lutheran University, graduating Summa Cum Laude! She's come far in life, having done a pop culture radio show at her university during her undergrad, red carpet interviews, and of course multiple character voices, both for work and play!

According to recent ACE presidential survey data, women now constitute 33% of university presidencies, yet a troubling pattern has emerged: these leaders are often appointed during times of institutional crisis, creating what researchers call "the glass cliff" phenomenon. In this episode of Changing Higher Ed®, Dr. Lori Varlotta, former president of Hiram College and California Lutheran University and current Distinguished Professor of Higher Education Leadership at Cal Lutheran, shares insights from her research on the glass cliff phenomenon in higher education. Drawing from her first research sabbatical in 40 years, she explores how women presidents are often hired during periods of institutional vulnerability and what can be done to ensure their success. The glass cliff differs significantly from the well-known glass ceiling concept. While the glass ceiling refers to invisible barriers preventing women from reaching top leadership positions, the glass cliff describes a phenomenon where women are specifically recruited for leadership roles during times of institutional crisis or vulnerability. In higher education, this vulnerability typically manifests as enrollment declines, decreasing net tuition revenue, grant funding challenges, or cultural crises. Dr. Varlotta's research reveals that women presidents face unique obstacles when leading institutional turnarounds, often facing implicit bias, gender-based generalizations about their performance, and disproportionate scrutiny of their appearance and leadership style through gender-charged reporting. Key Takeaways for Prospective University Presidents and Boards 1. Due Diligence: Carefully assess whether the campus truly wants the bold, transparent leadership they claim to seek during the hiring process. Engage in extensive conversations with the board to ensure alignment between stated goals and actual support. 2. Resource Commitment: Secure essential resources before accepting the position, including PR support, crisis communication expertise, and a dedicated board committee willing to serve as change management partners. 3. Gender-Charged Reporting: Be prepared for heightened scrutiny of appearance, mannerisms, and communication style. As highlighted in the research, women leaders often face disproportionate attention to non-performance factors compared to their male counterparts. As higher education faces continuing challenges, understanding and addressing the glass cliff phenomenon becomes increasingly essential for institutional success. Dr. Varlotta's research highlights the importance of careful preparation, adequate support systems, and recognition of the unique challenges faced by women leaders in academic turnaround situations.

For 20+ years, she has served at the executive level: Senior VP at Sacramento State and President at Hiram College (OH) and California Lutheran University. In both presidencies, Varlotta was the first woman at the institution to hold the post. At each, she was recruited to lead systemic changes to reposition the institution for the future. Along with the turnaround and repositioning work for which she is known, Varlotta contributes routinely to national conversations and publications on student success, systemic change, integrated planning and budgeting, curricular and co-curricular prioritization, shared governance, and DEIJ. As a first-generation college student, she is grateful for the educational opportunities she has experienced. She credits her blue-collar family and community, however, for teaching her life's most important lessons.

Tracey opens up about the incredible frustration and pain she felt when nothing she was doing to help her daughter seemed to be working and the ultimate opportunity that offered itself when Tracey realized that to support her daughter well she needed to address her own mental health challenges first.   This incredible story touches on generational trauma, mental illness, self care, secure attachment, and creativity and. It is a perfect example of what it looks like to ignore our own needs in motherhood (perhaps simply because we haven't yet identified that they even exist) and what becomes available to us when we go inside and do the inner work first. Tracey  reminds us that our own self care will always be in service of our children.

In this episode, Lisa and Matthew discuss:Common misconceptions regarding the cost and accessibility of private colleges. Advantages of private colleges many do not know about. How to understand and evaluate a college's mission and values. Recognizing financial aid opportunities and understanding the true costs and benefits of private colleges. Key Takeaways: Even if a school is faith-based, that does not mean every student is part of that religion. Students grow, and the best conversations are had when hard questions are asked. Look at the About Page of colleges and universities. What they say and don't say will tell you a lot about that institution's priorities, values, and mission. Your student should get their feet on campus before they enroll. While virtual resources are great, visiting should be a priority before enrolling. Very few families will pay the full price of tuition at private schools. Many of the smaller, private institutions operate like a village where there are activities throughout the day that lead to deeper relationships and community involvement that may not be available at larger universities. “Private institutions typically will be more focused on mission and have a values orientation to the work that they do that ties in the curriculum, but also the structures of the institution. It's important for students and families to explore what an institution is about.” – Dr. Matthew WardAbout Dr. Matthew Ward: Matthew Ward, Ph.D., Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Success is responsible for strategic enrollment management and student success at California Lutheran University.

In Tracey's words: I've been on a healing journey for 25 years and it was just last year that the final puzzle piece fell into place. As someone who has been in and out of therapy for over 2 decades, I was shocked by the realization that my whole life, my whole adult self and all my relationships, had been impacted by the reality of my childhood. Most of us believe that we cannot have experienced trauma if our childhood doesn't tick traditional boxes: sexual or physical abuse, poverty, incarcerated parent. But I can tell you, for sure, that waking up to the toll my conditioning took on me and thereby the people I love most has changed everything. And, my daughter was diagnosed with an eating disorder and depression when she was thirteen. She's 25 now and fully supports me in talking about our experiences. Her mental health diagnoses, along with my own inheritance, is the subject of my forthcoming memoir: Bloodlines: A Memoir of Harm and Healing. I'm passionate about dispelling the myths around mental illness, mental health, and healing. Accepting the fact that I could not control the trajectory of my daughter's illness was extremely painful, but it was necessary for me to wake up to the need for me to do my own work. The means to the end of supporting and loving her the healthiest ways I could. See more about my book here: https://traceyyokascreates.com/bloodlines-a-memoir/ This book shows you how I healed inherited trauma. In turn, I was empowered and transformed my relationships most beautifully.   Social Media Tracey Yokas creates stuff.

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Laura Moreno Lucas. Laura arrived in the United States from Mexico when she was seven years old, unable to speak a word of English. With her parents tirelessly working to make ends meet and facing their own language barriers, Laura found an unexpected mentor in the form of a janitor at her elementary school. Day after day, this janitor stayed behind after school to help Laura navigate the complexities of her new language, instilling in her not only the ability to communicate but also the courage to ask questions – a skill that would shape her future in profound ways. Fast forward to her first job in the financial sector, where Laura found herself surrounded by the dizzying flow of money that defines Wall Street. She couldn't help but wonder: Where did all this money come from? How did fortunes change hands so effortlessly? Laura stuck with that curiosity as she advanced her career and ultimately headed to the venture capital world. Laura is General Partner at L'ATTITUDE Ventures, leveraging her exceptional network and expertise to support the firm's deal flow and outreach strategy. She is the Founder & CEO of Pandocap, which provides strategic advisory and media services that help early and growth-stage companies access capital markets, implement and measure ESG strategies and accelerate towards an initial public offering (IPO). Prior to Pandocap, Laura was a Managing Director at Nasdaq, leading the IPOs of Beyond Meat, Lyft, The RealReal, Airbnb, and other high-profile listings. Laura is also a successful Latina entrepreneur having found and exited Ladada, one of the first fashion subscription startups to feature emerging new designers. Laura is an advisor to 500 Startups, Fulcrum Ventures, and a board member at Pangea Legal and California Lutheran University.

GLASA created the Sin City Classic in 2008 as an LGBTQ softball tournament meant to provide a safe and competitive atmosphere for LGBTQ athletes. Over the past 16 years the tournament has grown into the largest annual LGBTQ sporting event in the world including 24 sports and approximately 10,000 athletes and fans. As the Sin City Classic continues to grow and evolve this year they're adding two new competitions: pickleball one of the fastest growing sports globally and sand volleyball. Hosted at the Flamingo Las Vegas GLASA remains committed to creating the best experience possible for a diverse roster of dedicated athletes who participate and the fans and allies who come to enjoy the festival. The Sin City Classic Sports Festival kicks off with the Opening Night Registration Party held at the Flamingo Las Vegas. Competitions and nightly social events then take place around the city with the weekend culminating in the Closing Night celebration to be held at the LINQ Promenade's Brooklyn Bowl as a way to celebrate the weekend's activities. The festival will also be presenting the second annual Ken Scearce Leadership Award. The award was created in 2022 to honor the memory and legacy of Ken Scearce the Executive Director of the festival who passed away in 2021. The award recognizes athletes, leaders, coaches, referees and other volunteers who dedicate their time and skills to promoting the value and importance of LGBTQ sports. We talked to Jason about what he hopes to accomplish at this year's Sin City Classic Sports Festival and his spin on our LGBTQ issues.  Dr. Jason Peplinski began his stellar teaching career in Lancaster, California.

HealthCare Untold Hosts Gerardo and Barbara discuss a recent Executive Summary on the 2022 Latino Gross Domestic Product by Matthew Fienup from the Center for Economic Research, California Center for Economic Research, California Lutheran University.  This report highlights the power of the Latino dollar and the total economic output (or GDP) of Latinos in the United States. The Latino GDP was $2.8 trillion in 2020, up from $2.1 trillion in 2015, and $1.7 trillion in 2010. According to this report, the Latino GDP would be the fifth largest GDP in the world, larger even than the GDPs of the United Kingdom, India or France.  The fact that members of the Latino community are younger and have not hit their top earnings means that our GDP will continue to grow and further support the US economy. Gerardo and Barbara emphasize the importance of investing in the Latino community's health and education to ensure that the US economy remains vibrant and booming!

The Theory of Racelessness argues that Race does not exist in nature. Race does not exist as a social construction. Everyone is raceless. Racism includes the belief in race as biological or a construction and the practice of racialization. Racism is not everywhere and is not the cause for every perceived “racial” disparity or negative interaction. Racism can be overcome. The Theory of Racelessness is the brain child of scholar, teacher, and writer Dr. Sheena Mason, who earned her Ph.D. in English literature “with distinction” in May 2021 from Howard University. She joined the faculty at SUNY Oneonta in Oneonta, NY, in August 2021, as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in African American literature. She has taught at the College of William and Mary, California Lutheran University, and Howard University. Her book titled Theory of Racelessness: A Case for Philosophies of Antirace(ism) is scheduled to be released by Palgrave Macmillan on September 23, 2022. Additionally, she co-authored “Harlem Renaissance: An Interpretation of Racialized Art and Ethics,” a chapter of the forthcoming Oxford Handbook of Ethics and Art examining what, if anything, is the proper role of race in the aesthetic productions of or about members of racialized populations.

We've talked about oceans and plastic pollution before but today we're going to explore an unlikely connection between those two topics, and something that often gets overlooked: laundry. It might seem like a strange link to climate change because, you know, who really cares about laundry? But about 50 percent of the total greenhouse gas emitted over the course of a life of a tee shirt, for example, comes from the laundry room. The vast majority of that is simply heating water to wash in hot. Hanesbrands Chief Sustainability Officer Chris Fox explains how the underwear giant has paired up with Tide to encourage people to wash with cold water. Then Dr. Andrea Huvard of California Lutheran University delves into the impact that laundry has on our sea life, specifically from the microfibers released.

Adriana Adler was born and raised in Southern California. Started acting when I was in 7th grade when my best friend at the time asked me to join drama club with her, and I've been acting ever since. I did theater in high school and then went on to get a degree in Theater at the California Lutheran University, along with my degree in Math. Yes I am also a nerd who tutors Math for a living. My senior year of college I met my Meisner teacher Markus Flanagan who studied directly under Sanford Meisner. I took a total of 6 years with him, learning the proper 2 year process of learning the Meisner Technique. The following years I spent in his Master Class where we did scenes, audition techniques, and improv among other things. My last year in his class (right before Covid hit) I met my awesome friend Natasha. Markus called us as becoming best friends from the beginning and he was right! I am currently working on a new web series with Natasha and our other awesome friend Kaye. It is going to be a series of comedic skits. I love dramatic acting too, but I've always had a love for comedy. My stupid sense of humor and good comedic timing always bring something fun to the table. I am also an artist who mostly works in charcoal and chalk pastel, but I also work with oil and acrylic. I've found that having another creative outlet really helps me with my acting. People and animals are my favorite subjects to paint. I love animals (cats are my favorite), so painting them is always fun!
