Founding, Legacy & Entrepreneurial Leadership in Higher Ed

Hosted by Dr. Suzan Brinker, Viv Higher Education Co-founder & CEO
Welcome to Season 3 of Higher Ed Leaders, the podcast for college and university professionals who believe higher education is strongest when institutions are bold, adaptive, and built to last.

In the 2026 season, we’re exploring entrepreneurial leadership through the lens of founding and legacy stories. You’ll hear from presidents, provosts, deans, and vice presidents as they share how they’re:

Launching programs, initiatives, and ideas in moments of uncertainty
Making decisions with imperfect information
Sustaining momentum through change and constraint
And building institutions and strategies designed to endure over time

If you’re ready for honest conversations and practical insights from leaders shaping the future of higher education, you’re in the right place.
