Quotes from This Episode

  • “Being a first-generation college student and growing up in a working-class family in the mountains of Maine…going to college itself was a stretch.”
  • “Management and study of the organization is a liberal art…you know the complexity of human existence and organizations are social phenomena.”
  • “At Georgia College, I think the opportunities are endless. Not just collaborating within the university, but collaborating within the system…potential like three plus three programs – a Bachelors of Science in Business and a JD program at another university?”
  • “Higher education cannot survive in its silo…as a unit, as an institution, or in its ecosystem. Ecosystems are going to have to come together and merge. I’m not afraid of it. There’s no discipline that I know of that has a monopoly on the complexities of human existence.”
  • Regarding MOBTS – “As a 47-48-year-old organization, we need to recruit the next generation of management educators, and we need to retain them, and show them how important our organization is.”
