As part of our CCCSE series on community college leadership, your host Ralph Newell sits down for a one-on-one with the president of Southcentral Kentucky Community & Technical College (SKYCTC), Dr. Phil Neal.Tune in as Dr. Neal shares how raising the bar and setting high expectations on student engagement launched SKYCTC in their work with CCCSE. Addressing equity with a focus on the human connection within the student experience, he views higher education through a lens of human growth and development.
Asking questions not just about degree completion but what the community college experience does for the person emotionally, for their long-term career success, and their potential to change their lives, their families, and the communities in which they live.
KEY POINTS:
QUOTABLES:
“I love the idea of student engagement. I believe in it wholeheartedly. The key to student success is when we engage with each other in ways that are meaningful and supportive so that we all move forward in better ways.”
“When you believe in people and you set high expectations, they will rise to the occasion. And every student has some different challenges or strengths in life, and we've got to be there to help them along, but if you don't set the bar high for people, achievable but high, they don't think you believe in them.”

This is an amazing podcast. I am glad you are stepping up and talking about a sensitive topic that is not talked about enough. Thank you for sharing this information. It effects students in higher education and the effects carry over into the workforce when the students graduate. Some students are tainted because there was not enough taught on diversity and the students perspective are skewed.
Such a great approach on the different perspectives surrounding diversity and how it affects all communities! Enjoying each episode!
I like that the episodes aren’t too long but are still very informative
What an amazing podcast! I’ve received so much value from these conversations and experiences. This podcast is shedding light on some very important topics, especially in todays climate. I have been loving every moment! Diverse In The Margins is most definitely worth the listen!
