I saw the value of the college experience up close this past weekend. I attended a fundraising benefit for a local private college. 20 college athletes. (still student-athletes – although I may change my mind on that) They put on their best clothes, were introduced to the 800 people in attendance, ate a really nice chef-prepared meal, and helped excite the crowd during the live auction.
They had the chance to shake hands and learn how to be good at meet and greets.
Why do I open today’s podcast with this? Today’s podcast continues to chronicle the financial, cultural, and operational challenges many colleges face. But the college experience is so good for so many.
