Episode 013 - Chancellor Paul Turman

Our guest this week is the chancellor of the Nebraska State College system, Paul Turman. 

Dr. Turman is nearing the end of his first year as chancellor and was on the Wayne State campus recently for a college system board meeting.  

We talk with him about the role of his office, his own background, and about the major strategic planning process that has been in development over the last several months.

After this week, we will be on hiatus until the school year resumes in January.

Episode 011 - Registration for Spring

Our guest this week is Ron Loggins, who this past summer became associate vice president for academic affairs after several years as a professor of Biology and department chair. 

This coming week is registration week at Wayne State when students register for spring semester classes, so this week we explore how that process works, and how the college makes decisions about curriculum and the courses taught in the various academic departments.

Also please note that we have changed our podcast hosting to a service that should work better for listeners.
