Listen "Nido Qubein: Innovative Growth in Academia and Leadership by Example"
Episode Synopsis
Nido has raised over $400 million this year for Highpoint University with no formal development effort.
In 2022, in US News and World Report, Highpoint was named “best regional college in the South” for the tenth consecutive year, and most innovative college in the South for the eighth consecutive year. It was recognized for “best undergraduate teaching in the South,” best value, and in the top 50 in the nation for first-year experiences.
Nido discusses the pros and cons of student debt forgiveness and implications for both public and private schools.
Learn how a business approach in academia, and an attitude of “Why can’t we be the best?” along with a solid grounding in values created dynamic growth. None of this was immediately accepted, but when you lead by example, others eventually become supporters.
The importance of providing free bus transportation to and from airports for the holidays IF the students wear clothing with the university’s name on it!
