    EP166: Meet Dr. Michael Baston, Recipient of the 2026 The EDU Ledger Champions Award
    2026/04/09
    In this episode of In The Margins, we sit down with Dr. Michael Baston, President of Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C) and recipient of the 2026 EDU Ledger Champions Award, for a timely conversation on leadership, student success, and the future of community colleges. Drawing from his journey as a first-generation college student and former public interest attorney, Baston reflects on how personal experience shaped his commitment to building institutions that don't leave students to "figure it out" on their own. He shares how community colleges serve as powerful engines of opportunity, particularly for working, adult, and underserved learners navigating complex life demands alongside their education. The conversation, with host David Pluviose, explores how institutional design, not just intention, drives student outcomes. From rethinking enrollment and retention strategies to embedding support directly into academic pathways, Baston outlines a bold, systems-level approach to improving completion, scaling support, and aligning education with workforce realities. He also challenges leaders to move beyond performative partnerships and toward outcome-driven collaborations with K–12 systems, employers, and transfer institutions, which ensure students are supported from entry through career. This conversation is a call for intentional leadership: building culture first, designing systems around real student needs, and creating pathways that turn access into lasting opportunity. KEY POINTS: Baston's journey from public interest law to higher education leadership First-generation student experiences highlight the need for institutions to provide structured support Retention is a primary driver of enrollment growth Institutions must design systems that meet students where they are, especially working and part-time learners Embedding academic, financial, and career planning into programs is essential for completion Traditional higher education systems often create unnecessary barriers (language, bureaucracy, and process) Strong partnerships must produce measurable outcomes for students Community colleges should align with workforce needs, from upskilling to employer partnerships Leadership requires building institutional culture before implementing large-scale change QUOTABLES: "The power of possibility happens in community colleges for communities." – Dr. Michael Baston "I think about all the stuff I didn't have, all the mentors I didn't have, all of the organized support I didn't have when I came into college." – Dr. Michael Baston "We then have to design an institution that puts people in the best possible position to succeed." – Dr. Michael Baston "For too many colleges, it's easier to get out of school than to get in school." – Dr. Michael Baston "Partnerships are not taking pictures in front of banners… they have to have real outcomes." – Dr. Michael Baston GUEST RESOURCES: Dr. Michael Baston Awards/Honors > Champions Award | The EDU Ledger FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/The-EDU-Ledger X/Twitter: https://x.com/TheEDULedger Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheEDULedger Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TheEDULedger Threads: https://www.threads.com/@TheEDULedger Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/TheEDULedger.bsky.social WATCH THIS VIDEO AND OTHERS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@TheEDULedger Closed captioning and a live show transcription are available in the video for this episode.

  • EP165: Black Woman on Board: Power, Access, and the Legacy of Claudia Hampton

    EP165: Black Woman on Board: Power, Access, and the Legacy of Claudia Hampton
    2026/03/19
    In this powerful episode of In The Margins, our newest content partner Dr. Mordecai Brownlee, host of Discovering Your Mission, sits down with Dr. Donna J. Nicol, Associate Dean for Personnel and Curriculum in the College of Liberal Arts at California State University Long Beach (CSULB), and author of Black Woman on Board, to explore the remarkable leadership story of Dr. Claudia Hampton – the first Black woman appointed to the California State University (CSU) Board of Trustees. Drawing from her research and personal reflections, Nicol unpacks how Hampton navigated the complex power dynamics of higher education governance during a pivotal era for affirmative action and institutional access. Rather than relying solely on confrontation, Hampton employed what Nicol describes as "sly civility" or a strategic leadership approach that balanced diplomacy, influence, and long-term vision to expand opportunity for underrepresented students. The conversation moves beyond biography to examine broader lessons about leadership inside systems not originally designed for inclusion. From board politics and racial dynamics to strategic advocacy and mission-driven service, Nicol offers a powerful framework for emerging leaders navigating institutions today. At its core, this episode explores the enduring question of leadership: when to speak, when to build capital, and how to use influence to create lasting change. KEY POINTS: Nicol's academic journey and her commitment to equity and leadership in higher education How Black Woman on Board uncovers the overlooked story of CSU trustee Dr. Claudia Hampton Hampton as the first Black woman appointed to the CSU Board of Trustees Understanding "sly civility" through building trust and influence before deploying power Board politics, race, and gender shaped the dynamics of higher education governance in the 1970s and beyond How Hampton strategically negotiated resources and leadership decisions to advance affirmative action and institutional access Effective leadership requires understanding when to speak forcefully and when to build alliances quietly The importance of mission-driven leadership and serving students QUOTABLES: "I've always believed that every person has a mission. It's something you discover through experience, through challenge, and through a deep commitment to serving others." – Dr. Mordecai Brownlee "I stayed with a major that I was passionate about, as opposed to one that I thought might be lucrative." – Dr. Donna J. Nicol "Sly civility requires you to be civil with the people who have power in order for you to gain access to their institutions." – Dr. Donna J. Nicol "My personal mission is to provide the greatest good for the greatest number." – Dr. Donna J. Nicol GUEST RESOURCES: Dr. Donna J.

  • EP164: Leading Through Uncertainty: Dr. Emelyn dela Peña on Mission-Driven Higher Education

    EP164: Leading Through Uncertainty: Dr. Emelyn dela Peña on Mission-Driven Higher Education
    2026/02/19
    In this episode we sit down with Dr. Emelyn dela Peña, President and CEO of NADOHE, for a timely conversation on leadership, mission clarity, and sustaining equity work in a rapidly shifting higher education landscape. Drawing from her personal journey growing up in a diverse Los Angeles community, navigating loss and economic transition, and building a decades-long career across institutions like Stanford, Harvard, and Loyola, dela Peña reflects on the formative experiences that shaped her commitment to access, belonging, and student success. She shares how moments of protest, community support, and witnessing institutional responses to crisis helped define her purpose as an educator and leader. The conversation, with In the Margins, host Ralph Newell, explores the current national climate surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion work, including legal challenges, institutional overcorrections, and the growing role of fear in decision-making. And dela Peña emphasizes the importance of lawful, mission-driven leadership, deep listening, and centering those historically pushed to the margins. She also outlines her priorities as NADOHE's new president and CEO, including professional development, coalition building, and sustaining a community of practice for equity practitioners navigating uncertainty. At its core, this episode is a call to remain grounded in values, to support the people doing this work, and to remember that changing language should never mean changing commitments to fairness, representation, and opportunity. KEY POINTS: dela Peña's diverse upbringing shaped her commitment to inclusion Early advocacy experiences led her to a lifelong career in higher education The pandemic revealed hidden inequities and leadership blind spots Institutions must address structural barriers, not just surface-level access Fear and misinformation are driving institutional overcorrections Lawful, mission-driven leadership remains essential for equity work Compliance often means adapting programs, not eliminating them Eliminating DEI offices can result in loss of community and support systems Coalition building and cross-sector partnerships are key to sustaining the work Students and committed educators remain the greatest source of hope QUOTABLES: "It was such a wonderful experience to have grown up with all of that diversity… and to be welcomed by so many different kinds of families." — Dr. Emelyn dela Peña "There's always something under the surface that we need to think about when we are leaders of organizations." — Dr. Emelyn dela Peña "Our position has always been that we are committed to lawful mission-driven work." — Dr. Emelyn dela Peña "Our students give me hope… they demand that we live up to the things we say are important to us." — Dr. Emelyn dela Peña "If we shift language, we don't have to shift values." — Dr. Emelyn dela Peña RESOURCES: Emelyn A. dela Peña Named NADOHE President and CEO FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/The-EDU-Ledger X/Twitter: https://x.com/TheEDULedger Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheEDULedger Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TheEDULedger Threads: https://www.threads.com/@TheEDULedger Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/TheEDULedger.bsky.social WATCH THIS VIDEO AND OTHERS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@TheEDULedger Closed captioning and a live show transcription are available in the video for this episode.
