What does it look like to lead the institution that helped shape who you are?
In this episode of TransferTALK, Jay sits down with Dr. Phil Cook, President of Lee University, for a deeply personal and insightful conversation about leadership, calling, and the evolving realities of higher education.
Phil shares his journey as a first-generation college student from rural West Virginia to becoming president of his alma mater—highlighting how Lee University played a transformative role in his life during a critical season. From his early days as a resident director to leading enrollment growth and ultimately stepping into the presidency, Phil reflects on how relationships, mission, and strategic clarity have shaped his leadership approach.
Together, Jay and Phil explore what it means to lead with both heart and strategy, how enrollment leaders bring a unique perspective to institutional leadership, and the tension of honoring tradition while making necessary changes in today’s higher education environment.
