What Happens When Budget Cuts Hit Day 1 & Why Listening Tours Might be Thing of the Past - with Dr. Jeannine Diddle Uzzi, President, Thomas College

It's YOUR time to #EdUp with Dr. Jeannine Diddle Uzzi, President, Thomas College

In this episode, President Series #432, powered by ⁠⁠⁠Ellucian⁠⁠⁠, & sponsored by the 2026 InsightsEDU Conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, February 17-19,

YOUR host is ⁠⁠Dr. Joe Sallustio

How does a small private liberal arts college in Maine achieve a 99% career placement rate by requiring internships for EVERY student & maintain 93% residence hall occupancy in an era when similar institutions are closing?
What happens when a 130 year old business school evolves into a career focused liberal arts college that guarantees jobs & serves primarily 1st generation students who weren't born with trust funds?
How does a new president navigate tough budget decisions in year 1 while building trust & why does she say transparency about financial challenges might have been better than trying to protect the community from worry?

Extended Conversation for EdUp Premium Members:

Why is Thomas College signing to become Maine's ONLY college (in Maine, New Hampshire, or Vermont) offering NIL support for D3 athletes through Open Doors & how does this platform help ANY student turn their name, image & likeness into profitable business opportunities?
What does it mean to be Maine's only JED campus & how does this program assess & develop the institution's ability to support students facing mental health challenges?
If you could go back to day 1 as president knowing what you know now, would you still make those urgent budget cuts or would you take a year long listening tour & why does 1 president say those listening tour luxuries may be gone forever in higher ed?
