Dr. Marcheta Evans is the 12th president of St. Catherine University — and the institution's first African American president — after nearly 30 years in higher education leadership, including as Chancellor and President of Bloomfield College of Montclair State University. In this conversation, she and Chanda talk about what it means to be "the first," why finding your community matters, and how she's led through profound personal loss. Dr. Evans shares the story of an unexpected mentor who helped her finish her doctorate, how she's learned to stay authentically herself while navigating very different rooms, and what she believes today's students — and today's universities — actually need.
