DJ Menifee, Vice President for Enrollment at Susquehanna University and member of NACAC's board of directors, shares the stories about his rapid ascent to higher ed leadership ... and, perhaps just as important, deconstructs the construction of a perfect PBJ with Ken.

This quote from DJ (borrowed from Kobe Bryant):
"If you want to be the best, you've got to sacrifice something."
