Vanderbilt is having a moment. The university has transformed from a respected southern institution into one of the country’s most selective and sought after schools. Athletics has become an increasingly important part of that rise. At the center of it is Vanderbilt University’s Vice Chancellor for Athletics and University Affairs and Athletic Director. In this episode of The Deal, Candice Storey Lee joins us to discuss what it takes to build a winning culture, and how athletic success can amplify a university’s broader ambitions. They also talk about the forces reshaping college athletics, from NIL and revenue sharing to conference realignment, and what those changes could mean for athletes, universities, and fans.

What if becoming a better leader starts with letting go of who you think you should be? Meet Rebecca Blume, the Vice Chancellor for Advancement at the University of Washington Bothell. She has 22 years of fundraising experience and has worked with organizations including Fair Start and the YWCA in downtown Seattle.  To start the conversation, Rebecca shares how her experiences helped her become more confident and comfortable with her leadership style. She discusses viewing life as seasons rather than chasing perfect balance, using a pendulum to shift attention toward what matters most.  Moreover, Rebecca shares a powerful exercise for challenging limiting beliefs and explains how letting go of the need for total control can strengthen trust within a team. The discussion also touches on people-pleasing, healthy boundaries, holding space for difficult emotions, and responding rather than reacting. Finally, Rebecca encourages leaders to intentionally shape workplace culture and make small, daily shifts toward authenticity, connection, and trust. In this episode, you will be able to:  Lead more authentically by being comfortable with who you are. Manage different life priorities by thinking in seasons. Identify limiting beliefs that may affect your leadership. Let go of unnecessary control and build trust within your team. Set healthy boundaries without feeling guilty. Handle difficult emotions without reacting defensively. Communicate clearly during challenging situations. Create a positive workplace culture that reflects your values. Reduce people-pleasing habits and focus on what truly matters. Make small daily changes to become a more confident and authentic leader.

The unemployment rate has risen to an 11-year high, AI companies are promising widespread disruption to workplaces, and the costs of getting a university degree continues to climb. It's in this environment the University of Auckland is welcoming its new Vice-Chancellor, Professor Nic Smith spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Employee engagement is key to a successful organization, and getting team members engaged should begin even before their first day of work as a new hire. New hires naturally feel a mix of excitement and anxiety, but leaders must capitalize on the excitement while minimizing the anxiety to stimulate employee engagement from the outset. According to Lana Fontenot, Vice Chancellor for Institutional Advancement and External Relations for South Louisiana Community College, effective pre-boarding and onboarding programs are effective ways to not only stimulate excitement and reduce anxiety but to build engagement and increase retention rates. Listen to the first part of Dr. Janet Pilcher's two-part interview with Ms. Fontenot as they discuss her model for pre-boarding and onboarding and her personal experience as a new hire that instilled within her the passion for effective onboarding and employee engagement. Recommended Resources:  Focus on Employee Engagement, Increase Employee Engagement with RecognitionFollow Host Dr. Janet Pilcher on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janetpilcher/

New Zealand appears to be bucking a global downturn in demand from Indian students. The BBC reports Indian students are increasingly reconsidering study abroad options, driven by a weaker currency, visa restrictions, and dimmer job prospects in the UK and US. But Waikato University Vice-Chancellor Neil Quigley told Mike Hosking Indian enrolments are expected to hold steady over the next year, matching levels seen over the past 18 months. He says they're probably at the same level as Chinese students, or possibly stronger. Quigley says one factor supporting demand here is the relatively weak New Zealand dollar against international currencies. He says the depreciation of the rupee has not affected the New Zealand dollar as much as it has the pound or US dollar. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1981, a young Emirati woman convinced her father to let her travel to America to study. On her very first exam in a class of 75 Americans, she came first. That woman is now Vice Chancellor of the University of Sharjah.  Dr. Amina Al Marzouqi's story is one of the most inspiring journeys Spencer has covered on this show. After graduating in the US, she came home and was made deputy director of the UAE's entire primary healthcare system. She did her master's degree and went on to help build 106 primary healthcare centres that earned WHO recognition. Twenty four years in education later, she leads one of the UAE's most respected universities.  This conversation is full of wisdom. Dr. Amina talks about what university is really for, why a great teacher matters more than a famous institution, and why she believes students need less lecturing and more genuine interaction. She shares what it was like chairing her university's Covid response committee and supporting thousands of students through lockdown. She reflects on running a campus during the missile attacks, why students felt safer on university grounds than anywhere else, and the quiet strength the UAE revealed when it mattered most.    Timestamps:  0:00 How hard is it to be a student today with AI, mental health pressure and a region in conflict  1:30 Chairing the Covid response committee and what students needed most during lockdown  8:02 What university is really for: independence, critical thinking and self discipline  12:22 The teacher makes the subject: why a great lecturer matters more than a great university  18:13 Arriving in America in 1981, defying her father, and her first mixed classroom  22:24 The professor who saw her potential and the exam that changed everything  27:40 No management training, one year to get a master's, and building the UAE's healthcare system from scratch  31:48 AI as a tool not a threat and the careers students are not talking about yet  37:47 How the missile crisis made students more thoughtful and more mature  48:58 From mandatory cousin marriages to confronting a queue jumper: how UAE culture has shifted  51:31 The UAE's defence strength that nobody knew existed until it mattered  58:52 Defining success as impact and why she hates exams and textbooks  1:04:26 Quickfire Questions    Follow Spencer Lodge on Social Media  https://www.instagram.com/madeindubaipodcast/?hl=en  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586194260076  https://www.instagram.com/spencer.lodge/?hl=en  https://www.tiktok.com/@spencer.lodge  https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerlodge/  https://www.youtube.com/c/SpencerLodgeTV  https://www.facebook.com/spencerlodgeofficial/    Follow Dr. Amina Al Marzouqi on Social Media  https://www.linkedin.com/in/amina-al-marzouqi-7b286b151/  https://www.linkedin.com/school/university-of-sharjah/ 

Questions? Feedback? Send us a text!In higher education, nothing moves in isolation anymore.Every initiative is connected. Every unit has urgency. And every decision competes with something else that also matters.In this episode, Higher Digital Co-founder and CEO Wayne Bovier sits down with Ed Hudson, Vice Chancellor of IT and CIO at the University of Kansas, to unpack what it actually takes to execute when everything is competing for attention at the same time.With a career spanning the Marine Corps, law enforcement, cybersecurity, and higher education IT leadership, Ed brings a grounded, operational view of how institutions actually function under pressure.Ed breaks down:Why uncertainty—not resistance—is what truly slows progress in higher educationHow execution breaks down when every initiative is treated as top priorityHow CIOs manage prioritization without breaking trust across the institutionHow frameworks like ADKAR reveal where transformation actually stallsWhat it takes to act as the connector across competing institutional demandsWhy saying “not now” is one of the most important leadership functions in IT todayHow institutional progress depends on sequencing, not simultaneityThis conversation challenges a core assumption: higher education doesn't struggle because it lacks direction—it struggles because execution is constantly forced to happen in a system where everything is urgent.If you're a CIO, president, provost, or institutional leader navigating competing priorities in real time, this episode will feel familiar.If this resonates with your work, subscribe to the show and share it with a colleague navigating the same pressure.#HigherEd #CIOLeadership #DigitalTransformation #AIinEducation #Transformed #HigherDigital #ITLeadershipLSubscribe or follow TRANSFORMED wherever you listen, to get the latest episode when it drops and hear directly from leaders and innovators in higher ed tech and digital transformation best practices.Find and follow us on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/company/higher-digital-inc

In his latest interview with Chris Steyn, Grant Abbott the General Secretary of the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) shares evidence collected over years for the criminal complaint lodged against Vice-Chancellor Professor Sakhela Buhlungu who was recently placed on precautionary suspension by the Council and now faces charges of gross misconduct. Allegations in the union's criminal complaint include the appointment and promotion of individuals outside lawful recruitment processes, the circumvention of governance structures, the approval of substantial financial settlements of millions of rands and remuneration adjustments without proper justification. It also sets out how the Vice Chancellor selectively used disciplinary processes to protect his allies and targeted whistleblowers. Meanwhile, some of those who benefitted from the Vice-Chancellor's “schemes” are now the accused in corruption and fraud cases. “The problem is that you can't position yourself as a corruption buster and then in the process of doing that create more corruption...”

(6) Timothy Ryback explains that by early 1933, the Nazi Party faces financial ruin, owing an estimated 90 million marks, and continues to lose ground in state elections. To exploit this weakness, Chancellor Kurt von Schleicherattempts to split the NSDAP by negotiating secretly with Gregor Strasser. Schleicher hopes to peel away the party's moderate faction to form a working majority without Hitler. Strasser, believing he is saving the movement rather than betraying Hitler, considers a role as Vice Chancellor. Despite mounting debt and electoral setbacks, Hitler maintains a belligerent front, eventually declaring a minor vote in Lippe as a revival of party fortunes.1940

Season 9 kicks off with a discussion about 90 credit degrees and how the University of Maine System is moving forward with three Applied Baccalaureate degrees as a way of bringing learners with some college but no degree back to the university system. Chancellor Dan Malloy and Vice Chancellor Jeff St. John join to talk about their process for developing the Applied Baccalaureates, the surprisingly little pushback from faculty, the enthusiastic response from employers, and their hopes for continued growth and engagement with these innovative credentials in the future.    Key Takeaways:The 90-credit credential is an academic innovation designed to bring “some college no degree” learners back to school. The reduced credit threshold for awarding the degree may support easier access into the workforce in less time with less money spent by the learner.The University of Maine System will launch three “Applied Baccalaureates” in fall 2026, having worked with their accreditors, their trustees, and faculty at each of the system member institutions to identify and develop these programs. Accrediting bodies may provide guidance for institutions about what must be included as part of a 90-credit credential, and may have requirements for how to name the degree and how to differentiate them from the full baccalaureate degree. Host:Doug McKenna, Ph.D.University Registrar, George Mason Universitycmckenn@gmu.edu   Guests:Daniel Malloy, J.D.Chancellor, University of Maine Systemhttps://www.maine.edu/chancellors-office/dannel-p-malloy-chancellor/ Jeffrey St. John, Ph.D.Vice Chancellor, University of Maine SystemReferences and Additional Information:Core Competencies: Leadership and Management

UNC Charlotte is rewriting what modern university advancement can look like—fast, collaborative, and deeply rooted in place. In this episode of Talking Tactics with Safaniya Stevenson, Beth Krigler and Penny Hawkins unpack how the “For the Love of Charlotte” campaign helped fuel a record-breaking surge in giving, including an extraordinary rise in non-alumni engagement and a fundraising trajectory that's set to hit its $500M goal years ahead of schedule. From building a culture of “getting to yes” to breaking down silos across athletics, academics, and alumni relations, this conversation reveals how intentional alignment, shared language, and community-driven strategy can transform fundraising from transactional efforts into sustained momentum.

In 2022, she was appointed Associate Vice Chancellor for Development, where she has helped shape and execute some of the institution's most ambitious fundraising efforts. Her leadership has been instrumental in advancing the For the Love of Charlotte campaign, a $500 million initiative that has already secured $400 million in commitments and continues to build momentum toward its goal. Hawkins has played a key role in UNC Charlotte's record-setting philanthropic achievements, including contributing to the University's first-ever $100 million fundraising year in FY25 and helping secure transformative gifts such as a $23 million commitment from the Mebane Foundation in support of literacy education. During Niner Nation Gives 2026, she helped lead Charlotte Athletics to a historic performance, more than doubling its previous record with $2.2 million raised through 1,852 gifts.

She was appointed to the role following a national search, having previously served in the position in an interim capacity since July 2022. Since joining UNC Charlotte in 2018 as associate vice chancellor of development, Crigler has played a central role in advancing the University's fundraising momentum, including helping to complete the $200 million Exponential Campaign, which ultimately closed at more than $218 million. Under her leadership, the University has continued to exceed annual fundraising goals and recently achieved record-setting success with its most successful Niner Nation Gives campaign to date, alongside securing transformative support such as a historic gift from the Mebane Foundation for literacy education and raising more than $60 million toward strategic priorities. A 20-year veteran of the development profession, Crigler has raised more than $130 million for Charlotte-area charitable organizations and more than $1 billion for nonprofits across North Carolina. Prior to UNC Charlotte, she served as senior director of principal and leadership gifts for the Novant Health Foundation and has held leadership roles with organizations including Charlotte Latin School, the U.S. National Whitewater Center, Sharon Towers, and the Cabarrus County Boys & Girls Club.

 In this episode of Enterprise Sessions from the University of Bristol, Professor Michele Barbour speaks with Dr Myles‑Jay Linton, Senior Lecturer in the School of Education, whose career has woven economics, health research, digital innovation and co‑production into a distinctive, socially impactful research portfolio.Myles‑Jay reflects on his journey from an interdisciplinary PhD at the University of Exeter to applied healthcare work in Bristol Medical School, a prestigious Vice‑Chancellor's Fellowship, and now pioneering work on the intersection of youth mental health and digital life. Along the way, he has collaborated with clinicians, policymakers, university leaders, young people, and—unusually for his field—a commercial mental health app developer.From shaping national guidance on information‑sharing in student mental health crises, to co‑creating digital toolkits with practitioners, to supporting developers integrating AI into peer‑support platforms, this episode explores how enterprise and social impact can coexist powerfully in research that is compassionate, rigorous, and deeply collaborative.

In this episode of The Learning Future Podcast, Louka Parry speaks with Professor Pascale Quester, Vice-Chancellor and President of Swinburne University of Technology, about what higher education must become in an age of AI, rapid change and growing complexity. Pascale challenges the deep conservatism that still shapes education, arguing that universities must move beyond inherited models like lectures and exams and instead rethink assessment, learning and capability from the ground up. Together, they explore the role of productive struggle in learning, the difference between friction that supports growth and friction that blocks access, and why authentic assessment matters more than ever.The conversation also examines Swinburne's bold strategic direction, including its focus on personalised learning, technological infusion, entrepreneurial thinking and global relevance without simply replicating itself everywhere. Pascale makes a compelling case for a more human-centred, adaptive and differentiated university model—one that builds resilience, welcomes discomfort, and prepares learners not just with knowledge or skills, but with the capacity to keep learning for life. At its core, this episode is a powerful reflection on unlearning, transformation and the future of universities in a world that urgently needs stronger, wiser and more capable humans.
