<p>When <a href="https://www.cabrini.edu/about/president">Helen G. Drinan</a> assumed the presidency at <a href="https://www.simmons.edu/">Simmons University</a> in 2008, the school was on a downward spiral. &nbsp;During her 12-year tenure, Simmons was transformed on just about every level resulting in a significant strengthening of the school's financial condition. &nbsp;Recently, Drinan came out of retirement to lead a similar turnaround effort at <a href="https://www.cabrini.edu/">Cabrini University (PA)</a> where she serves as Interim President. &nbsp;In our conversation, Drinan speaks candidly about what it takes to improve a college's financial performance and offers valuable guidance for other leaders on how best to navigate challenges and find and leverage opportunities.</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chelip/message
