Dr. Joel Pearsall is the president of Northwest Nazarene University, a Christian, liberal arts university in Nampa, Idaho. As with any educational institution, Dr. Pearsall has to run a university and continue to maintain the highest standards of teaching and learning while at the same time navigating the need to maintain its founding Christian values. Despite being a community within a community, the university community has not been isolated from the challenges that our world and the United States have had to face over the last 3 years: political and social disruption; a global pandemic that, for a time, forced education into a fully virtual format; new testing protocols; social distancing; hybrid work and teaching spaces. All these together have had an effect on how we as a community redefine function in the new reality and for institutions of higher learning the effect has been complicated and challenging. Dr. Pearsall shares his leadership lessons while leading in these difficult times.
