Gordon Gee: President, West Virginia University

Gordon Gee was named the Top University President in the U.S. by Time Magazine, and is the only higher education leader to have been a president 7 times, including return stints at both The Ohio State University and WVU. He shares lessons and insights from his more than 4 decades of experience as a university president, including how he has boiled down all the information he needs to run WVU onto a card he can carry in his wallet. He discusses the vital role of our flagship public universities that he describes in detail in Land-Grant Universities for the Future: Higher Education for the Public Good (Johns Hopkins University Press), and that will appear in a new book with the same publisher. David Finegold is the president of Chatham University. Learn more about your ad choices.
