Weekly Wisdom | Prairie View A&M University President Tomikia LeGrande
Lessons in leadership on this #WeeklyWisdom episode featuring Tomikia LeGrande, the president of Prairie View A&M University.
In this episode of the Innovating Together podcast, hosts with Sara Custer, Editor-In-Chief of Inside Higher Ed, and our CEO Bridget Burns sits down with Mung Chiang, President of Purdue University, to discuss his leadership journey and the exciting developments happening at Purdue. Having been in office since 2023, President Chiang shares insights into his leadership style, which was greatly influenced by his predecessor, Mitch Daniels. He reflects on the significant groundwork laid at Purdue in terms of its engineering programs and how that positioned the university to win a major federal investment as part of the CHIPS Act. This $450 million grant, along with a loan of up to $500 million, will help establish a cutting-edge AI memory chip fabrication facility on campus—an achievement that puts Purdue at the forefront of semiconductor research and innovation.
