In this episode, your host Ralph Newell welcomes Paula O'Loughlin, provost and dean of faculty at Coe College, to share her journey in higher education and the current and future initiatives Coe College is undertaking for diverse organizational impact and transformation.

KEY POINTS:

QUOTABLES:

“How do we make it possible for every student to be able to write their own stories? And one of the ways that we have to do that is by thinking about what's the experience the students like, and all students need to feel at home. And that’s what drives me.”

“As part of our historical narrative, Coe has always been that kind of place that is accessible, and this is pushing Coe to be more accessible and open to more populations than it has historically been.”

This is an amazing podcast. I am glad you are stepping up and talking about a sensitive topic that is not talked about enough. Thank you for sharing this information. It effects students in higher education and the effects carry over into the workforce when the students graduate. Some students are tainted because there was not enough taught on diversity and the students perspective are skewed.
