Dr. Philip Rogers, who becomes East Carolina University s 12th chancellor today, plans to listen and learn as much as possible in the days and weeks ahead.
It s important to be an intentional and active listener during the first few months on the job. I m eager to ask questions and to engage in both formal and informal learning opportunities with university stakeholders, he said. I will not have all the answers on day one and that s OK. This will be an incremental process of building the right knowledge base as we develop a collective vision together.
