For more than 30 years, Quinnipiac University was led by John Lahey. Now, the private university in Hamden, Connecticut has a new leader and its first female president. This hour, we sit down with President Judy Olian.

Olian comes to the university from UCLA, where she was Dean of the business school.

We find out what is her vision for Quinnipiac University, and ask: In an age of ever-changing technology, how is the school preparing its students successfully for the workforce of the future?

We want to hear from you, too. Are you an alum or a Quinnipiac student or faculty member?

Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.

  • Judy Olian - President of Quinnipiac University (@judyolian)
