Listen "When Making Your Plan, Consider Your Options and the “And.” with Dr. Shanice McGill"
Episode Synopsis
Dr. Shanice McGill, Dean of Student, Saybrook University, reflects on her career in academia and how her mentors challenging her to step outside of her comfort zone helped shape her approach to career advancement. Dr. McGill began her career in higher education, working in a staff position assisting vocational and undergraduate students. At the time, she had not thought about long-term employment in higher-ed, but after working in student-facing departments, she realized that she could potentially make it a career. Dr. McGills sought mentorship and determined that she needed to be strategic if she wanted to advance. Dr. McGills discusses how she went from “I’ll just figure it out” to mapping a plan considering the “And” to seeking and obtaining a Dean position while keeping a “students centered” approach top of mind.
