The leadership of Northern Illinois University – President Lisa Freeman, Executive Vice President and Provost Beth Ingram, and Vice President for Administration and Finance and Chief Financial Officer Sarah McGill – joins Innovators to talk about how they manage to affect change at a large university and what it means to be part of a largely female leadership team at NIU.

Dr. Freeman was appointed president of Northern Illinois University in September 2018. She earned a bachelor's degree in 1981, then a master's degree and a doctor of veterinary medicine in 1986, from Cornell University. She then spent nearly two decades at Kansas State University before her time at NIU.
