How Great Leaders Navigate Chaos in Higher Education

Higher education isn’t evolving fast enough… and now it doesn’t have a choice. In Part 2 of this convo, Chris Jaeger sits down with NACAS CEO Rich Steele to unpack the mounting pressure facing colleges and universities, from declining enrollment and campus closures to rising complexity and financial strain. Rich breaks down why higher ed has historically moved at a “glacial pace” and why that model is no longer sustainable. As competition increases and resources tighten, leaders are being forced to rethink everything: partnerships, pricing models, operations, and even how they serve students day-to-day. At its core, this conversation is about leadership under pressure and the responsibility to adapt, simplify, and stay focused on what matters most: serving students.

From dining halls and housing to campus safety and student wellbeing, Rich shares how these behind-the-scenes operations directly shape student success, retention, and lifelong memories. Rich’s journey started unexpectedly, from chemical engineering to student activities but what kept him there for nearly four decades was the impact: feeding students who couldn’t afford meals, creating environments where students feel seen, and solving complex challenges at scale.

In Part 2 of our conversation, John Ashaolu, Assistant Vice President for Athletics at Lewis University, breaks down what it really takes to build a championship-level athletic department.

Chris somehow got me talking about architecture, fine arts, literacy, creative leadership, hidden Easter eggs, and an ’80s-inspired junkyard campaign in one conversation. That alone earns five stars. 😂 What I appreciated most was how natural it felt. Chris came prepared, listened closely, and gave the stories room to breathe. We talked about the work, the lessons, and the people who helped make it all possible. I left the studio energized, grateful, and reminded that the best ideas usually start with curiosity, trust, and a few good laughs. Huge thanks to Chris and the entire Club Colors team for making me feel right at home. 🎙️
