College and university provosts are tasked with a unique mission in higher education. Now called Chief Academic Officers at many institutions, provosts ensure that business-minded school administrations never lose sight of their core purpose: preparing their students for life through quality education.
As a former provost herself, Kara Monroe, Founder and President of Monarch Strategies, never lost her passion for helping others navigate the complexities of higher academia.
Kara talks about the value of collaboration and continuous learning, as well as the ongoing fight for education reform.
