Shannon joined ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ in July 2023, and since that time, he has helped the university embrace the mindset of a "150-year-old startup" — a blend of rich legacy and the necessity to reinvent continually. Agility, daring and boldness have been the cornerstones of the approach.
"At ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ, we are working to create a university that has never existed before. Is that a bold proposition? Absolutely. But our nation, communities and industries need people who dare boldly enough to make a difference," Shannon said. "And with our rich history of producing agile-minded leaders, ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ is uniquely equipped and prepared to lead from the front.”
Shannon invites everyone to join him for an inspiring presentation of ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ's vision to redefine the future of higher education. Over the past year, leaders across ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ have been diligently working to implement his seven strategic big bets outlined in his October white paper "Bold Forward: Running Into Our Calling." He will unveil this groundbreaking work and reveal several exciting surprises, offering a wake-up call to those ready to embrace a bold, forward-thinking approach to education.
