In this episode of the Calling Solution podcast, I interview Elise Awaad, President and CEO of DeVry University. We explore Elise's rise from an admissions representative to the first female President and CEO of DeVry, her commitment to education, and her efforts to close the tech opportunity gap. We discuss the importance of blooming where planted and Elise's transformative career moment in 2013, where she took on a challenging role that others avoided, leading to significant organizational transformation. The episode also touches on the value of formal education, the role of suffering in life, and strategies to prevent learning loss during summer.
