The magazine asked each of the 15 women what motivates them, what advice they have for the next generation of leaders, barriers they’ve faced on the paths to their current positions and about the importance of leadership.<\/p>\n

“It is so vitally important that we support those who are working in our institutions and recruit women to key leadership positions,” she said.<\/p>\n

Hensrud has been a staunch advocate for women in leadership positions. In Feb. 2017, she joined the American Council on Education’s “Moving the Needle: Advancing Women in Higher Education Leadership”<\/a> campaign, which will pursue a goal of seeing women hold 50 percent of chief executive positions at institutions of higher education by 2030.<\/p>\n

“In 2016, only 30 percent of university presidents were women,” she said to InBemidji. “Along with hundreds of my presidential colleagues across the nation, I have committed to work hard to support women and move the needle on that percentage.”<\/p>\n
