Dr. Neil Terry

In this episode, Skylar sits down with Dr. Neil Terry, interim president of West Texas A&M University. One of WT's longest-tenured faculty members, Neil has served the university at virtually every level of academic leadership, giving him a deep understanding of an institution that plays an incredibly important role in the Texas Panhandle. Neil shares the journey that brought him to West Texas and the perspective he brings to leading WT through a period of transition. They talk about some of the critical issues currently facing the university, including the future of the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum, as well as his role in providing stability today while paving the way for WT's next president. Neil is thoughtful, perceptive, refreshingly open and a lot of fun to talk to. It's a great conversation about leadership, stewardship, and caring for an institution while helping it navigate what comes next.
