Had the opportunity today to sit down with Dr. Heather Wilson, President of The University of Texas at El Paso and former Secretary of the U.S. Air Force, for an intimate conversation at the Benson Center. Such an engaging discussion on leadership, public service, higher education, and the challenges facing our institutions today. Incredibly grateful for the opportunity to listen, ask questions, and learn from someone with such an extraordinary career.
