What happens when an enrollment leader becomes a university president?
In Episode 24 of TransferTALK, Jay Fedje sits down with Dr. André Stephens, President of Fresno Pacific University, to explore leadership in one of the most challenging eras in higher education.
With a career that began in admissions and evolved through student development and executive leadership, Dr. Stephens brings a unique perspective to the presidency — one rooted in student success, relationship-building, and institutional mission.
In this conversation, Jay and Dr. Stephens discuss:
- The transition from enrollment leadership to the presidency
- Navigating enrollment decline and financial challenges
- Making difficult institutional decisions with a student-centered lens
- The importance of vision, purpose, and leadership clarity
- The future of higher education and the evolving role of AI
