À propos de cet audio

In part two of our conversation with Dr. Shannon McCarty, Vice President of Learning and Instruction at Calbright College, we shift from Calbright’s mission to the challenges and lessons of leading innovation.

Shannon shares candidly about her leadership journey, the mentors who shaped her path, and the values she carries into her role. She reflects on how authenticity, feedback, and even humor create stronger teams, and why being open and vulnerable is key for leaders navigating change.

Highlights from this episode include:

  • How to stay authentic and resilient while leading disruptive innovation.
  • The cultural values that guide Calbright’s “small but mighty” team.
  • The role of AI in course design, assessment, and tutoring — and why it’s about the right tech at the right time.
  • Rethinking general education around “durable skills” like communication, problem solving, and digital literacy.
  • Shannon’s vision for the future includes three-year degree models and integrating AI literacy across programs.

Shannon leaves us with a challenge: to know your purpose and let it guide your innovation and leadership.
