Season 3, Episode 5: A Lifetime of Being a Scholar

This episode explores the evolving role of scholars across different career stages, examining how their approaches to scholarship, teaching, and service have adapted to the changing academic landscape. Panelists will reflect on the lessons they've learned throughout their careers and offer insights into how to maintain passion for their work, navigate institutional challenges, and effectively mentor the next generation of academics.

This episode features conversations with senior scholars. We want to acknowledge and dedicate this episode to a senior scholar who we sadly lost this year. In addition to being a renowned scholar, Dr. Caroline Turner served as chair of ASHE’s Council for Ethnic Participation and as ASHE President. She was a mentor to many in the field and a friend to even more. While Dr. Turner is no longer with us, her legacy lives on through her students, friends, and colleagues. This episode is dedicated to her.
