I nominate Pete Nardie for consideration to be interviewed in a Vic 4 Vets segment on NewsTalk STL. I’ve known Pete since 1971. Pete is not only a good friend but he represents everything good in terms of American citizenship, military combat service and a 32 year career as a teacher. Pete voluntarily served in the US Marine Corps. He completed a 13 month combat tour in the Vietnam War. Pete served in the highly innovative Combined Action Program. The program placed a Marine Platoon and a Navy Corpsman to live on their own in a Vietnamese rural village. That program called for an incredible individual commitment to serve in a concept not well known to the American public. During the day they provided much needed assistance to the local residents and by night performed ambush patrols or defensive positions keeping the residents safe. Here’s a weblink from Southeast Missouri State known University (SEMO) that presents Pete’s answers to questions about his undergraduate experience and how SEMO effected his life. https://semo.edu/people-directory/donor-spotlights/pete-nardie One of my favorite stories about Pete at SEMO was on close to his first day in school -he had already grown his hair and beard quite long after he was honorably discharged from the Marines. A school cafeteria employee took note of Pete’s appearance and asked for his student ID. She kept Pete’s ID and said he’d only get it back by meeting with the University President. Pete had that meeting and ended it with a great quote. Pete’s ensuing college career later enabled him to be elected as SEMO Student Government President.

Michigan State University President Kevin Guskiewicz delivered his 2025 State of the University address at the faculty investiture on September 30, 2025.SUMMARY KEYWORDSState of the University, new professors, leadership initiatives, enrollment record, US News rankings, federal policy changes, Jennison fund, budget adjustments, comprehensive campaign, experiential learning, strategic plan, One Health, research innovation, community partnerships, athletics.SPEAKERSSpeaker 1 00:00State of the University. Speaker 1 00:19So good morning again, and congratulations once again. I think they deserve another round of applause to our 2025, newly endowed professors and chairs. Your excellence truly elevates the capacity of our university to drive our work toward achieving our aspirations as a leading global public research university, and thanks to all my Spartan colleagues for joining us today, including several of our Board of Trustees members one year ago, almost to the day at my presidential investiture here at Wharton Center, I shared a Vision for Michigan State University, not just my own, but one shaped by conversations and collaborations with so many people around our campus and around the community and many of you who are here today together, we outlined big, bold goals, making Michigan State University the most inclusive, welcoming and safe environment it can be tackling grand societal challenges head on, and transforming Michigan State University into a truly next generation University. We also launched several leadership initiatives aimed at achieving those goals, and today, I'm excited to share the progress that we've made and a glimpse of what's ahead. Let's start with some great news, and there's so much that we could talk about and celebrate today, but I want to touch on a few things. First, we entered the new academic year, enrolling more undergraduate students than ever before in our 170 year history of Michigan State University, it's clear that students and families place their trust in us to provide an education that is practical, exceptional and accessible. Students come to us from 139 countries, all 50 states, and all 83 counties across the state of Michigan, we remain the top choice for in state students, with over 8200 Michiganders as part of this new class. And that's why I say that we are Michigan's State University and over 600 highly achieving incoming students join the Honors College, 30 of whom represent our inaugural class of the Williams scholars. 02:52Second, some good news from US News and World Report Speaker 1 02:58US News and World Report rankings just placed six of our undergraduate programs among the nation's top 25 two more than last year. Supply Chain Management ranked number one for 15 consecutive years. Service Learning and Education Abroad ranked number one among public universities, learning communities ranked number two nationally, and the list you could go on and on and on, but there's a lot to celebrate with regard to the incredible academic achievements and opportunities provided through our undergraduate and graduate students here at MSU. And I want to offer a huge congratulations to the faculty and staff who make these programs run, you know, on a daily basis, and, more importantly, to shine on a daily basis. So we're grateful for all that you do. However, not all developments this past year have been easy. Everyone here knows that federal policy changes have disrupted our operations and impacted our core mission of teaching, research and outreach. 04:05But Spartans don't back down. Speaker 1 04:09We mobilize teams to respond swiftly, to protect our research, support our people and continue serving the public, a responsibility that we hold and take very seriously as a leading global public research university, as we always have and will continue to do, I've taken our message to Washington DC and invited lawmakers here to see firsthand the value we provide through research, education and outreach. We've also taken action here at home, through the Jennison fund, we're investing $5 million per year for three years to support affected research programs. Just last week, we notified 37 recipients of this funding, and their work is nothing short of inspiring agricultural economist kajil Galati will be able to pivot from her international work in food safety and security toward applications in the United States, including examining lead testing policies on children's health and educational outcomes. The history department's Professor Walter Hawthorne can complete data integration, supporting scholarly and public access to the names and stories of more than 33,000 historically enslaved individuals on the unique MSU based enslaved.org platform. And graduate student Melina Ortez can continue preparing for a research for a career in research, a cancer research. Jennison funding will support 24 graduate students and restore our fellowships, allowing our continued education of the next generation of scholars and leaders. This is what it means to live our mission, to invest in people, knowledge and purpose. I want to thank all those in the offices and on the rapid response teams analyzing each new mandate and recommending ways to mitigate the disruption to our operations and our people. We will stay true to our Spartan mission and our Spartan values. Not all of our challenges stem from external factors, and I acknowledge the anxiety around our internal budget adjustments, I want to salute the careful work our colleges and administrative units have done to help build a secure, sustainable future for MSU. Together, as one team, we've taken steps to ensure our financial health for the long term. And let me be clear, as I said several times this past year, MSU is not in a financial crisis, but we are navigating a complex landscape and making tough, proactive decisions right now to stay strong. Thanks to our community's hard work, we've maintained the lowest tuition increase among Michigan's public universities over the past decade. We've increased University funded financial aid, and we've protected essential programs while aligning resources with strategic initiatives. 07:33And we're not slowing down. Speaker 1 07:35We're moving forward together as one team with a clearer understanding of who we are and who we can become. 07:46So as I promised, let's talk apples. Speaker 1 07:51Yes, it's harvest season, and Michigan is the nation's second largest apple producer. And that matters because it connects directly to our roots and our role in supporting Michigan's economy and agriculture. I look back at our visit to the Martinez farm in Conklin during our inaugural Spartan bus tour last fall, and I'm proud to know that Michigan's 700 have a reliable partner in Michigan State University, and we saw that firsthand on that bus tour, the training in agricultural and management practices that we offer to farmers such as Paulina Martinez and his team provide the knowledge to Ensure Michigan needs 08:39in apple production, Speaker 1 08:42the Spartan bus store was one of the leadership initiatives that I announced last year. In addition to traveling to Central and Western Michigan last October, we've traveled to Detroit in May to visit places our students call ...

A college president whose tenure has been marked by White House tension is stepping down. AP correspondent Mike Hempen reports.
About This EpisodeJoin host Melissa Morriss-Olson for an extraordinary conversation with Dr. Danielle Wilken, President of the University of Bridgeport, as she shares her remarkable journey from a 20-year career at Goodwin University to leading one of higher education's most compelling turnaround stories. This episode offers rare insights into transformational leadership, authentic communication, I don't know which one is this Danielle is 16and the delicate balance of executive leadership and motherhood.About Our GuestDr. Danielle Wilken serves as President of the University of Bridgeport, where she has led a dramatic institutional transformation since 2021. Prior to her presidency, she spent nearly two decades at Goodwin University, risingthrough the ranks to become Provost and developing her expertise in Universal Design for Learning. Her leadership philosophy centers on transparent communication, collaborative decision-making, and the belief that educationserves as a pathway to transforming lives, families, and communities.Key Themes ExploredThe Power of Long-Term Institutional Commitment Danielle discusses her unusual 20-year tenure at Goodwin University and how deep institutional knowledge andrelationship-building prepared her for transformational leadership. She challenges the conventional wisdom of frequent career moves in higher education and explains why mission-driven commitment often creates more effective leaders than title-chasing advancement.Building Trust Through Transparent Communication The conversation explores how Danielle established trust during the complex partnership between GoodwinUniversity and University of Bridgeport, including the challenging bi-weekly town halls during the transition period. She shares specific strategies for maintaining honesty while navigating uncertainty and how transparency became the foundation for cultural transformation.Innovation Through Inclusive Leadership Learn about the "UB Shark Tank" initiative where faculty and staff pitch ideas directly to cabinet leadership, and discover how this approach has generated concrete results including student-ledcompanies, new athletic programs, and revenue-generating academic initiatives. Danielle explains how decentralized innovation creates buy-in and surfacesopportunities that senior leadership might otherwise miss.Universal Design for Learning as Institutional Philosophy Danielle shares her passion for Universal Design for Learning, explaining how this pedagogical approach movesbeyond labeling students to leveraging their individual assets. The discussion reveals how UDL principles have influenced not just curriculum design but institutional culture and decision-making processes.Authentic Leadership and Work-Life Integration In one of the most candid discussions about executive leadership and motherhood, Danielle addresses the myth thatwomen can "have it all" simultaneously. She shares practical insights about managing competing priorities, building goodwill with family members, and using authenticity as a leadership strength rather than vulnerability.The Legacy of Mentorship and Family Influence The episode includes touching reflections on how daily conversations with her father shaped Danielle's leadership approach and decision-making process. She also discusses being mentored by three women leaders at Goodwin and how observing different leadership styles helped her develop her own authentic approach.Leadership LessonsThis conversation offers valuable insights for current and aspiring leaders about the importance of presence over administrative isolation, the power of listening and connecting seemingly unrelated ideas, and the necessity of celebrating wins while navigating ongoing challenges. Danielle's approach demonstrates how vulnerability and authenticity can become leadership superpowers when combined with clear vision and consistent execution.
Ball State University President Geoffrey Mearns joined the football halftime show on the radio vs. the Purdue Boilermakers.
What happens when you put a university president who's weathered pandemics, launched massive campaigns, and chairs the Bruce Springsteen Archives in a room with great questions? Pure gold. In this episode, I sit down with Patrick Leahy, President of Monmouth University, for one of those conversations that reminds you why leadership stories matter.Patrick takes us through his incredible journey from being the youngest of six kids outside Baltimore to running a $200 million university. We dive into the mentor who changed everything by pushing him to apply to Georgetown (spoiler: he thought he'd never get in), the poetry class with the university president that shifted his entire career path, and those messy years when he tried business and finance before finding his true calling in higher education.But here's where it gets really interesting. Patrick shares what it was actually like stepping into the president's role just months before the pandemic hit, how he kept an entire campus community connected through weekly Zoom calls that people still don't want him to stop and the bold moves he's made to position Monmouth for the future. We're talking about partnerships with Hackensack Meridian for healthcare programs, building out film and TV production right as Netflix constructs their massive studio two miles away, and chairing the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music.The conversation gets into the real stuff too. How AI is going to reshape education, why being someone others want to work with might be the most critical skill you can develop, and what it means to lead through uncertainty while staying true to your values. Patrick's energy is infectious when he discusses servant leadership, the importance of asking better questions, and how every twist in your career path ultimately serves you later.Patrick's story reminds us that the most successful leaders aren't those who follow predetermined paths, but those who remain open to possibility and aren't afraid to bet on themselves and others. It's a conversation that will leave you thinking differently about what's possible when you combine authentic leadership with strategic vision and the courage to act on both.00:00 – Welcome & Introduction 01:00 – Childhood & Early Leadership 05:45 – The Georgetown Pivot 10:30 – From Business to English Lit 14:00 – The Nonlinear Journey to Education 20:45 – First Presidency at Wilkes 26:30 – Leading Through a Pandemic 32:00 – Vision for Monmouth 37:00 – Netflix, Sports & Strategic Growth 41:30 – The Role of AI in Higher Ed 48:30 – Emotional Intelligence & Employability 50:00 – The Springsteen Archives 55:00 – Closing ReflectionsPatrick on Socials: IG: monmouthuniversity X: @PatrickFLeahy LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-patrick-f-leahy-ab873620 Youtube: @monmouthuniversityJon on Socials: IG: @thejonschultzpodcast X: @JonSchultzPod LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-jon-schultz-podcast www.jonschultz.com
