In this episode of Higher Education Coffee and Conversation, I have the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Kyle Dalpe, the president of Western Nevada College. With a fascinating background as a journalist, chief of staff, and vice president of instruction at various community colleges, Dr. Dalpe brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. We delve into topics such as college promotion, reaching rural communities, and building infrastructure to support innovative programs while maintaining a healthy work environment for staff and faculty. One key theme emphasized by Dr. Dalpe is the significance of showing up, not just for the community and students, but also for faculty and staff. We also touch upon the significance of the chief of staff role, which Dr. Dalpe held previously. This episode offers a wealth of knowledge and practical advice for promoting education, engaging with communities, and fostering a collaborative environment within higher education institutions. Tune in to gain inspiration from President Dalpe’s experiences and insights!
