Since joining the board of the Yleana Leadership Foundation last year, I've learned so much about the challenges and inequities that effect first-generation and BILPOC applicants and students as they seek a higher education. If you'd like to learn more about the evolving landscape, please sign up for this panel discussion next week.

Today, I'm honored to be speaking at the White House Initiative on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders Higher Education Leadership Summit at UC Berkeley. I'm teaching a session on Leading with Executive Presence - what it means and how to tap into those strengths, especially for those of us who don't exactly fit the stereotypical expectations for senior leaders. I'm Asian, a woman, and if you've met me in person, you know I'm pretty petite. Not exactly the image that immediately comes to mind when someone says "executive presence". Yet, for much of my career, I didn't have the positional authority or the lofty title - which meant I had to rely on my personal presence and influence to get things done. So I experimented, studied, learned, and did what I had to do. Eventually, I became a Director of Strategy and Planning at one of the world's biggest companies. And now, I get to give back and help others make their mark. As leaders, our job is to inspire, motivate, and set clear direction in high-stakes situations. At 3 pm today, join 250 higher ed leaders at the East Pauley Ballroom and allow me to help you shine your light even brighter. Special thanks to my Exec|Comm colleague Robert Chen for connecting me to the important work this team is doing for the AANHPI community! #communicationskills #executivepresence #leadership

I am delighted to share that an article that I co-authored with John Braxton, Dawn Lyken-Segosebe, and Christine Harrington was recently published by the Journal of Higher Education Management. It's entitled "Clarity or Continuing Ambiguity Regarding the Tenure and Promotion Process in Community Colleges." If you are community college faculty or working in community college academic affairs leadership, please consider giving this empirical study a read. We discuss a framework on how faculty and academic affairs leadership can better quantify and value the multivalent work of CC faculty. https://lnkd.in/eEkz8Ewy

At All Means All, we are dedicated to transforming outcomes for students with disabilities and other intersectional identities that have been historically marginalized. We start by partnering with school leaders to thoroughly analyze and disaggregate historical data and then build inclusive and ambitious goals to address disparities. Leaders develop plans through our multiple learning cycles that draw on adult leadership skills and practical tools to target specific areas of disproportionality such as reading, math, post-secondary success, or social-emotional growth. This creates a proof point, demonstrating what is possible and generating momentum to continue eliminating disparities beyond the program. Join us for our fourth cohort as we work toward more inclusive, supportive learning environments where all students can thrive academically and socially. 🌟 Apply Here: https://lnkd.in/gQhAz_25 🌟 📈 Check Out Our Results: https://lnkd.in/gSZQGq3R 📊

How can higher education foundations and institutions improve value? Jeff Selingo shared his research-based advice to AGB Foundation Leadership Forum attendees: 1. Lean into skills to renew the value of the degree. Research shows that the biggest wage premiums come from foundational skills like influencing and project management. 2. Improve the student experience. Higher education can be a complicated maze for many students. Break down those silos at your institution and concentrate on student mentorship and personal feedback. 3. Prepare for a new learning economy. Our economy needs life-long learners. Boards and institutions need to be prepared to support multiple generations of learners through collaboration with other institutions and with external partners.
