Shannon joined 51³Ô¹ÏÍø in July 2023, and since that time, he has helped the university embrace the mindset of a "150-year-old startup" — a blend of rich legacy and the necessity to reinvent continually. Agility, daring and boldness have been the cornerstones of the approach.
"At 51³Ô¹ÏÍø, we are working to create a university that has never existed before. Is that a bold proposition? Absolutely. But our nation, communities and industries need people who dare boldly enough to make a difference," Shannon said. "And with our rich history of producing agile-minded leaders, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø is uniquely equipped and prepared to lead from the front.”
Shannon invites everyone to join him for an inspiring presentation of 51³Ô¹ÏÍø's vision to redefine the future of higher education.
