Wilmington College President Corey Cockerill joins the podcast (again) to share insights on her first 100 days since being officially becoming the college's first inaugurated female president. Although Corey is proud of this source of inspiration for young women, like her own daughter, she stated, "I don't consider my female status as a unique identifier... It wasn't something that defined me... I never felt like I was overcoming being a woman... I just happen to be in fields that I think present challenges that I enjoy."
Corey also gave an update on Wilmington College's involvement with the old Masonic Temple building on Main Street in Wilmington (next to The Murphy Theatre), and shared exciting news of the college's largest financial gift in their 155 year history, a $23 million donation from the late Coach Jerry Scheve, to build a new indoor track facility, ADA accessible entryway, and other athletic upgrades.
