episode How UCM Meets the Moment: President Roger Best on the Three C’s cover

How UCM Meets the Moment: President Roger Best on the Three C’s

University of Central Missouri [https://www.ucmo.edu/](UCM) President Roger Best joins Central Speaks to discuss the challenges and opportunities shaping higher education today, and how faculty and staff can help UCM meet this moment in service to students. The conversation centers on what he describes as the “three C’s”: communication, change and community. President Best shares his perspective on the external forces affecting colleges and universities, the importance of clear and transparent communication, the growing influence of technology and artificial intelligence, and the role of belonging in supporting student success. He also highlights strategic partnerships, innovative programs, and the day-to-day work of helping UCM adapt while staying true to its mission of Education for Service. Throughout the conversation, President Best underscores that student success is not the responsibility of one office, department, or program. It depends on the collective efforts of faculty and staff across the university. And yes, we also get to the bottom of what happened to the pastries at Pastries with the President.

Best of the ’Burg: A Central Speaks Roundup

This episode of Central Speaks [https://www.ucmo.edu/news/central-speaks/]  [https://www.ucmo.edu/news/central-speaks/]examines the reasons why the University of Central Missouri was recognized in the Warrensburg Star-Journal’s Best of the  [https://www.ucmo.edu/news/08-27-27-25-best-of-burg.php]Burg awards [https://www.ucmo.edu/news/08-27-27-25-best-of-burg.php]. From being a top place to work to Mules National Golf Club and Traditions Restaurant to student services and campus support, UCM earned recognition not just for what we do but also for how we do it. In that vein, we revisit some of the voices and stories that show what makes UCM stand out. You’ll hear from people across campus who make student success and community engagement more than just slogans; they make them a reality. Whether they’re supporting employees in the heat of summer, helping students design meaningful careers, or showing what belonging truly feels like, these stories reveal the people behind the honors. * Visit the Central Speaks website ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.ucmo.edu/news/central-speaks/]. * Email Alex to nominate a future guest ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠ [jgreenwood@ucmo.edu]. * Listen on Spotify ⁠here⁠ [https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/alex-greenwood8/episodes/Dr--Dawn-Pauling-on-Plague--Prairie-Dogs-and-the-Power-of-Curiosity-e325ioj/a-abtntgn]. * Listen on Apple Podcasts ⁠here⁠ [https://podcasts.apple.com/ph/podcast/central-speaks-a-ucm-podcast/id1768828779]. * Visit the updated UCM News Bureau here [https://www.ucmo.edu/news/]. 💡 Have an idea for a future guest? Email us [jgreenwood@ucmo.edu] with your nomination. © 2025 University of Central Missouri.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
