I LOVE our President at Hollins University. She is a ROCK STAR! AND she has a new book that I can't wait to read!

It’s here! "Where Love Leads: Leadership and the Liberal Arts," the new book from Hollins University President Mary Dana Hinton, is officially available today from the University of Virginia Press.

Where does love belong in leadership?

For President Hinton, the answer is simple: at its center. Drawing from her own journey and experiences as a leader, she makes the case for love not as sentimentality, but as a serious leadership practice—one that calls for courage, accountability, integrity and responsibility to others.

We couldn't be more excited to see where this conversation leads.

Purchase the book at https://www.upress.virginia.edu/title/10225/ and use code 10HINTON to receive 30% off.
