In this episode of Keepin’ It Cleveland, we sit down with Dr. Michael Baston, President of Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C) and a visionary leader reshaping how we think about access to education.
From his early dream of becoming President of the United States to now leading one of Ohio’s most important institutions, Dr. Baston shares what fuels his passion, why he believes in student selection over institutional prestige, and what it means to build a legacy that outlives the title.
We talk about the challenges facing higher education, the importance of equity in opportunity, and the power of being deeply connected to your city.
