Published on: 21st November, 2022

This session of the radio show shares my conversation with Dean College Chancellor Edward M Augustus Jr. We met in the wfpr.fm radio studio to record on Thursday, Nov 10, 2022. 

Our topic list included

  • Chancellor Augustus background and his road to Dean 
  • The Dean organizational structure and role he plays co-leading Dean with President Ken Elmore
  • The challenges facing Dean and how to leverage the “Dean Difference”
  • Listening as a skill 

The recording runs about thirty seven minutes, so let’s listen to my conversation with Chancellor Augustus.

Darryl Purpose was the folk singer who’s name had escaped me during my conversation with the Chancellor. The song line that stuck is found in his performance ->  https://darrylpurpose.bandcamp.com/track/a-crooked-line 

And how about the coincidence (?) (or maybe not?) that part of the song is about the creation of a baseball stadium?
