You’re listening to the Getting Smart Podcast, where we unpack what is new and innovative in education. I’m your host Jessica and today we’re talking with Dr. Ron Crutcher, President and Professor of Music at the University of Richmond and author of the new book I Had No Idea You Were Black: Navigating Race on the Road to Leadership.
Dr. Crutcher was founding co-chair of Liberal Education and America’s Promise (LEAP) and a former member of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. His new book highlights his own journey, as well as his principles for leading and being.
Let’s listen in as Tom and Dr. Crutcher discuss the influence of music, strong leadership, the role of university and much more.
