In a nationally televised broadcast, Penn State President Neeli Bendapudi shared her thoughts about growing opportunities and continuing challenges for women leaders in higher education, and discussed the important role of Penn State and other top U.S. universities in preparing students for successful lives and careers.

“It’s great news on the one hand to see progress (in the number of women leaders of top universities), but certainly there’s hope that we can do so much better,” Bendapudi said in a March 7 interview on “CBS News Live” coinciding with National Women’s History Month. “Without question, when you look at enrollments, women far outpace men and have done so for a while. I’m hoping that we can build the career ladder so that more women actually do ascend to the highest levels of higher education.”
