About this listen

In this episode, Dr. Sheila Quirk-Bailey, the recently retired president of Illinois Central College, talks with host H.M. Kuneyl about her career journey from corporate education into community college leadership, emphasizing how her Illinois-based communication and business training, paired with a practitioner-focused doctorate from Maryland, shaped her student success-driven philosophy. Among other topics, she and Kuneyl discuss the value of working across institutional silos, knowing one's "why," and pursuing leadership roles with purpose rather than for prestige.
