In this episode of In The Margins, we sit down with Dr. Anthony Graham, Chancellor of the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB), to explore how leadership, innovation, and purpose-driven strategy can transform not just an institution, but an entire region. Drawing from his foundation as a classroom teacher, Graham shares how his leadership is rooted in relationships, data-informed decision-making, and a commitment to developing the whole student. He unpacks UAPB's bold vision to become a nationally recognized, preeminent land-grant institution, serving as a catalyst for talent development, innovation, and economic renewal across the Arkansas Delta. The conversation, with The EDU Ledger host Ralph Newell, dives into the university's approach to artificial intelligence, workforce readiness, and research, highlighting initiatives like the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics (CAIDA) and groundbreaking work in aquaculture and agriculture. Graham also outlines what it takes to achieve Carnegie R2 designation, including difficult institutional decisions, program alignment, and a shift toward transdisciplinary, problem-focused research. At its core, this episode is about redefining student success, embracing change in higher education, and building systems that prepare students to lead, solve problems, and drive economic impact. KEY POINTS: Graham's leadership philosophy rooted in teaching, relationships, and data Why leaders must enter institutions as learners, not with preconceived models AI as a tool, and why problem literacy matters more than technical skills The push to demystify AI and build data-informed cultures through CAIDA What it takes to reach Carnegie R2: research investment, doctoral output, and alignment Why institutions must make hard decisions about outdated academic programs The shift toward "braided funding" and less reliance on federal dollars Redefining student success as holistic development beyond graduation metrics UAPB's vision to drive talent, innovation, and economic renewal across the Arkansas Delta QUOTABLES: "The most important skill that there is, is relationship building." – Dr. Anthony Graham "AI may not take your job, but someone who knows how to use AI may take your job." – Dr. Anthony Graham "It really is about lifting all people so that the region thrives." – Dr. Anthony Graham GUEST RESOURCES: Our Chancellor - University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/The-EDU-Ledger X/Twitter: https://x.com/TheEDULedger Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheEDULedger Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TheEDULedger Threads: https://www.threads.com/@TheEDULedger Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/TheEDULedger.bsky.social WATCH THIS VIDEO AND OTHERS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@TheEDULedger Closed captioning and a live show transcription are available in the video for this episode.

  • EP167: The Future of Community Colleges: Leadership, Funding, and Student Success | Jee Hang Lee
    2026/05/07
    In this episode of In The Margins, Dr. Mordecai Brownlee, host of Discovering Your Mission, sits down with Jee Hang Lee, President and CEO of the Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT), for a timely and unfiltered conversation on the future of community colleges, leadership, and student success. Drawing from his journey from Capitol Hill to leading one of the most influential organizations in higher education, Lee shares a national perspective on the growing pressures facing community colleges, from funding uncertainty and political complexity to increasing competition across the education landscape. He challenges leaders to rethink how institutions define value, emphasizing that programs must translate into real economic opportunity for students. Their conversation dives deep into what separates high-performing governing boards, the evolving role of college presidents, and why leadership today requires far more than academic expertise. Lee also unpacks the importance of long-term strategic thinking, workforce alignment, and building systems that truly support students, especially those navigating complex life circumstances. At its core, this episode is a call to action: for leaders to stay mission-driven, think systemically, and ensure that community colleges remain not just a point of access but a pathway to lasting success. KEY POINTS: Jee Hang Lee's journey from public policy to leading ACCT and advocating for community colleges The growing pressure to prove the economic value of higher education programs in a post-pandemic world Why community college programs must align with real wages and workforce outcomes The shift toward stackable learning and incremental education pathways for modern students The 3 core governance principles (duty of care, loyalty, obedience) that define high-performing boards How funding instability and state-level decisions are reshaping institutional strategy The expanding competition from four-year institutions entering workforce and associate degree spaces Why today's college presidents must operate as advocates, fundraisers, communicators, and crisis managers The importance of long-term strategic planning, including demographic shifts and enrollment pipelines Why community colleges may be the "first and last door" to higher education for many students Leadership requires a mission beyond compensation to sustain impact and longevity QUOTABLES: "We have to do a better job of showcasing the earning potential… and really showcase that there is substantive value for our students." – Jee Hang Lee "Politics has always… permeated public institutions of higher education." – Jee Hang Lee "You have to have a grounding of why you do your job." – Jee Hang Lee "Providing that opportunity to build your educational platform… is something that we should be focusing on." – Jee Hang Lee GUEST RESOURCES: Jee Hang Lee | ACCT ItsDrMordecai.com - Official Website of Dr. Mordecai Ian Brownlee FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/The-EDU-Ledger X/Twitter: https://x.com/TheEDULedger Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheEDULedger Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TheEDULedger Threads: https://www.threads.com/@TheEDULedger Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/TheEDULedger.bsky.social WATCH THIS VIDEO AND OTHERS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@TheEDULedger Closed captioning and a live show transcription are available in the video for this episode.

  • EP166: Meet Dr. Michael Baston, Recipient of the 2026 The EDU Ledger Champions Award
    2026/04/09
    In this episode of In The Margins, we sit down with Dr. Michael Baston, President of Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C) and recipient of the 2026 EDU Ledger Champions Award, for a timely conversation on leadership, student success, and the future of community colleges. Drawing from his journey as a first-generation college student and former public interest attorney, Baston reflects on how personal experience shaped his commitment to building institutions that don't leave students to "figure it out" on their own. He shares how community colleges serve as powerful engines of opportunity, particularly for working, adult, and underserved learners navigating complex life demands alongside their education. The conversation, with host David Pluviose, explores how institutional design, not just intention, drives student outcomes. From rethinking enrollment and retention strategies to embedding support directly into academic pathways, Baston outlines a bold, systems-level approach to improving completion, scaling support, and aligning education with workforce realities. He also challenges leaders to move beyond performative partnerships and toward outcome-driven collaborations with K–12 systems, employers, and transfer institutions, which ensure students are supported from entry through career. This conversation is a call for intentional leadership: building culture first, designing systems around real student needs, and creating pathways that turn access into lasting opportunity. KEY POINTS: Baston's journey from public interest law to higher education leadership First-generation student experiences highlight the need for institutions to provide structured support Retention is a primary driver of enrollment growth Institutions must design systems that meet students where they are, especially working and part-time learners Embedding academic, financial, and career planning into programs is essential for completion Traditional higher education systems often create unnecessary barriers (language, bureaucracy, and process) Strong partnerships must produce measurable outcomes for students Community colleges should align with workforce needs, from upskilling to employer partnerships Leadership requires building institutional culture before implementing large-scale change QUOTABLES: "The power of possibility happens in community colleges for communities." – Dr. Michael Baston "I think about all the stuff I didn't have, all the mentors I didn't have, all of the organized support I didn't have when I came into college." – Dr. Michael Baston "We then have to design an institution that puts people in the best possible position to succeed." – Dr. Michael Baston "For too many colleges, it's easier to get out of school than to get in school." – Dr. Michael Baston "Partnerships are not taking pictures in front of banners… they have to have real outcomes." – Dr. Michael Baston GUEST RESOURCES: Dr. Michael Baston Awards/Honors > Champions Award | The EDU Ledger FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/The-EDU-Ledger X/Twitter: https://x.com/TheEDULedger Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheEDULedger Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TheEDULedger Threads: https://www.threads.com/@TheEDULedger Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/TheEDULedger.bsky.social WATCH THIS VIDEO AND OTHERS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@TheEDULedger Closed captioning and a live show transcription are available in the video for this episode.
