Honoring a Legacy: Fielding’s Longest-Serving President, Dr. Katrina S. Rogers, Retires

2025-02-04T08:10:46-08:00

A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Welcome to 2025! I begin this year’s Letter from the President with two quotes for collective consideration. Maslow’s remark calls to mind a person with a foot poised over a path, about to decide: forward or back, into change or not? Mandela’s statement reminds us that the vehicle of change is education. In a similar spirit of reflection, I took time at the end of December to write about the passing of the year just concluded and the possible road ahead for Fielding. I often think of the saying attributed to Buddha that the past [...]

Building Resilience in Challenging Times

2025-01-16T08:18:26-08:00

At certain points in their leadership journey, most executives reflect on their past and future direction. The beginning of the year serves as an opportunity to look back on what we’ve endured and to look forward to what’s possible. For many, this reflection occurs against a backdrop of challenges and losses. For example, consider the wildfires that have swept through Los Angeles—devastating, relentless, yet also a powerful metaphor for resilience. Amid the ashes, new growth will ultimately emerge. In most situations, we, too, must find the strength to rise again. What makes resilience such a defining trait during challenging times? [...]
