Episode 1: Dr. Nahed Eltantawy, Dean of the Nido R. Qubein School of Communication

We’re kicking off Not 4 Credit with a conversation that sets the tone for everything this podcast is about—real stories, unexpected paths, and the people who shape our School of Communication.In our first episode, we sit down with Dean Nahed Eltantawy for a candid, wide-ranging conversation that begins with a simple show-and-tell and unfolds into a global journey. From growing up in Cairo and attending Catholic school, to getting caught in a dangerous university protest will working as a reporter, to helping build a journalism program from the ground up at High Point University, her story is anything but predictable.Along the way, we talk about leadership, faith, resilience, career pivots, and what it really takes to guide a growing, innovative school. It’s thoughtful, personal, and the perfect way to launch a podcast dedicated to the people behind the work.
