Conversation with new Briar Cliff president Dr. Draud
Dr. Matthew Draud, the new president of Briar Cliff University, shared his extensive background in higher education and the path that led him to the top leadership role at Briar Cliff. He shares his impressions of Briar Cliff with its Franciscan values and Franciscan roots, academic and campus highlights that attract students to the only Catholic university in the diocese. The president shared the university had a soft launch of their Foundations for the Future campaign to raise funds for scholarships so that more students can have access to a BCU education. Karmen and Dr. Draud share their favorite professional football teams - and they aren't the same team. Find out who they are! Charger fans and graduates of Briar Cliff will want to tune in and learn more about the new BCU leader. Learn more about Briar Cliff at www.briarcliff.edu.
