Discovering the Maverick Factor: Episode One | Maverick Leadership

In honor of Women’s History Month, host Yolanda Bevill, vice president of MME, talks to UTA’s very own history-maker, Jennifer Cowley-the 10th president of the University and the first woman to ever hold the office. Together, they discuss successful leadership, creating a compelling strategic vision, and more. Dr. Cowley also answers the eternal question: coffee or tea? (The answer might surprise you!)
