Interview Questions – Sara Babad

1) What are your goals for your institution? How do you want to see it grow and why is this an important direction to take?

2) How has higher education changed since you took office? What do you think are the big issues that are/aren’t being addressed?

3) How do you involve and engage your students, in the classrooms, in the running of the college, and in the community at large?

4) What role does your institution play as part of the community? Do you see yourself as part of the area in which you are situated? Part of a more global community? Or are you an entity unto itself?

5) (I don’t know if you can actually ask this, but I’m curious) If I came to you as someone who was considering applying for a position as president of a college, what would you tell me? What advice would you give? What would be the most important thing you would want to impart?
