Even while men still hold the majority of executive leadership positions in higher education, women represent more than half of administrators overall, according to a study from the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources (CUPA-HR). Women in higher education leadership bring unique and valuable skills and perspectives to bear on their approach to leading, something that is no doubt honed by navigating the competing demands of their gender and their occupation. During the first two seasons of IngenioUs, we've been privileged to hear from several accomplished women higher ed leaders and we are pleased to share highlights of these conversations in this special summer episode. The stories that these bold and wise women share are inspiring and provide encouragement for all women who aspire to higher ed leadership, now and in the future. In order of appearance: Dr. Elsa Nunez, Dr. Mary Dana Hinton, Dr. Carol Leary, Dr. Valerie Roberson, Dr. Yves Salomon-Fernanedez, Dr. Donna Carroll, Dr. Lenore Rodicio, and Sandra Doran, JD.
