What does it really take to lead a university, manage a $70M reserve, and still make time for karate, campus walks, and connecting with students?
On this week’s episode of Leadership Unplugged with WiFi, we sit down with Joe Greene, Vice Chancellor & Providence Campus President at Johnson & Wales University, to talk about:
- His unexpected path from factory work to university leadership
- The mentor who changed his entire career trajectory
- What he believes every future leader must understand about long-term decision-making
- How JWU approaches financial stability, endowment strategy, and student affordability
- Why honesty, integrity, and “admitting when you don’t know” matter more than ever
- New initiatives like campus walks, the suggestion box, and “Snack & Chats”
Plus: Joe’s personal finance advice for students, reflections on the Wildcat Investment Fund, and a lightning round that settles the age-old question… iced or hot coffee?
Tune in for real insights, real leadership lessons, and a refreshingly authentic look at the person behind the position.
