Episode 68: President Greg Weiner on Hope for and Belief in the Liberal Arts

Our guest this month is President Greg Weiner of Assumption University. He joined the Assumption community in 2011 as an Assistant Professor of political science and since then has also held the position of Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. His area of expertise is in the political thought of the American Founding and he has written four books on topics in this area and is in the process of writing the fifth. Weiner was a political aide, consultant and writer in Washington, D.C. for nearly two decades before entering academia. This conversation, among many things, gets at the role that leaders of academic institutions can play in helping to form the next chapter of higher education.
