UNE President Danielle Ripich publishes column on women in higher education leadership roles

UNE President Danielle Ripich, Ph.D., wrote a column titled "Invest in Yourself: Women in Higher Education Leadership Roles," which was printed in the American Council on Education (ACE) Women's Network newsletter.

She writes: "Women make up the majority of undergraduate students in America today. But women don’t even approach that proportion when it comes to top leadership positions in higher education. So it’s vital that women step up to leadership roles—whether as part of a grand career strategy or as a result of being thrust into the position." Read the entire column.
