Penn State Dickinson Law‘s Profiles in Leadership series offers an unparalleled opportunity to glean insights from top leaders who serve in government, education, the private sector, and civil society. In each episode, we invite these leaders to reflect on their journey and share skills, core values, and qualities that make them the leaders they are today.

This special episode features Penn State University Provost Justin Schwartz in one of his first “live” interviews as Provost. It also features Dean Danielle Conway, usually the one interviewed, taking on the rarely seen role of interviewer. I very much enjoyed their engaging, insightful, and inspiring conversation. Hope and trust that you will too.
