ABSTRACT Nichole R. Lewis, HERSTORY: EXPLORATION OF THE LIVED EXPERIENCES OF WOMEN WHO WERE FIRST TO LEAD AN HBCU 1994 to 2014 (Under the direction of Dr. Crystal Chambers). Department of Educational Leadership, March 2017. There is increasing scrutiny and accountability being placed on colleges and university in American higher education. Historically black colleges and universities are not exempt from that scrutiny, and in some regards may face it with a higher degree of risk. The criticism and questions of necessity, validity and stability of HBCUs does not come without serious consideration of those who are selected to lead these institutions. This study explores the lived experiences of black women who were selected as the first women to lead three HBCUs between 1994 and 2014. This time-bound period was selected as there was a significant increase in the selection of women to serve as presidents of colleges and university, with HBCUs and community colleges experiencing the highest increases, as the governing boards of those institutions were selecting black women to take the helm. This qualitative study uses narrative inquiry to specifically explore the transition period into the presidency, the first 100 days in the role and the final 100 days in the position as permanent HBCU president or chancellor. Considering the conceptual theory of the Glass Cliff, findings are used to draw meaning from the experiences of these women, that may serve as guidance for African-American women who are considering a career path that ends in the presidential suite. The narratives explored in this study are the stories of Dr. T.J. Bryan – Fayetteville State University, Dr. Dianne Boardley Suber – Saint Augustine’s University, and Dr. Dorothy Cowser Yancy – Johnson C. Smith University, all located in the state of North Carolina. HERSTORY: EXPLORATION OF THE LIVED EXPERIENCES OF WOMEN WHO WERE FIRST TO LEAD AN HBCU 1994 to 2014 A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Educational Leadership East Carolina University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership by Nichole R. Lewis March, 2017 ©Copyright 2017 Nichole R. Lewis HERSTORY: EXPLORATION OF THE LIVED EXPERIENCES OF WOMEN WHO WERE FIRST TO LEAD AN HBCU 1994 to 2014 by Nichole R. Lewis APPROVED BY: DIRECTOR OF DISSERTATION:_________________________________________________ Crystal Chambers, PhD COMMITTEE MEMBER:________________________________________________________ Grant Hayes, PhD COMMITTEE MEMBER:________________________________________________________ Maxine B. Mimms, PhD COMMITTEE MEMBER:________________________________________________________ Maria Clay, PhD CHAIR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP: _________________________________________________________ William Rouse, Jr., EdD DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL: _________________________________________________________ Paul Gemperline, PhD DEDICATION Almost every year of my doctoral studies, I lost someone of great significance in my life including strong, confident black men (my uncle John Henry Lewis, my paternal grandfather James “Jack” Lewis, and my uncle James Henry Lewis) who never themselves ever even went to college but who raised and championed daughters, and in their own way contributed to raising and championing me, to pursue my path, to live life, to know my worth, strength and intelligence. Just before I defended my dissertation proposal, I lost my 92-year old maternal grandmother, retired college professor Barbara Baker Boardley, whose approach to life’s tough times was intuitively to “take a hot bath and lay down across the bed”. And as I was preparing to conduct my last interview, I lost a guiding light in Dr. Debra Saunders White- the first woman chancellor of North Carolina Central University. She fought cancer as she lived and lead-with zeal, vigor and a quick step that would make a way. I dedicate this to those whose transitions reminded me from wince I come; and to my 9- year old daughter Taylor Marie – so that she’ll know when you keep pushing – you can finish on top! ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This was a journey I continually say to people I did not chose for myself. It could not have happened without constant support. I have to thank my mother who was “Mama” when I needed her to be and DBS when she knew she had to be. In the midst of her own life changes, she kept me moving, provided her resources, her experiences and her circle to literally make this all possible. She reminded me I could be a scholar, and a mommy all at the same time. To Taylor who was in this place with me, who was often on auto-pilot for full weekends, but at the end was checking for feedback and celebrating right alongside me. – love you best. I am so lucky to be “this chic’s” mommy. I have to acknowledge my sister and Taylor’s pre-K-teacher-turned babysitter who have my co-parents in this journey for the past 5 years, without their unmoving support, both she and I may have lost our wits. Thank you to my classmate-turned-coworker, and soror who moved through this with me. It’s something special to have a person who can celebrate with you as she is striving to reach the goal herself. I thank my besties who were already finished their journey and let me “be absent”. Special thank you to the members of my committee, Dr. Grant Hayes, and Dr. Maria Clay; to Dr. Maxine B. Mimms who saw something in me as a teenager when she made me memorize and recite a poem of Maya Angelou to prove she was my favorite poet before she would give me one of Dr. Angelou’s early books of poetry. I want to yell thank you to Dr. Crystal Chambers, my committee chair, who encouraged me and let me be candid and acknowledged that we could get to “done” even with life happening. And I thank GOD who helped me see a glimpse of some things, delayed others and removed the rest only for a time, only to reveal, as I came to the conclusion of this part of the journey, that He plans to give it all back – more abundantly.

    Foreword A powerful force for community revitalization is gaining momentum across the country: university-community partnerships. In growing numbers, colleges and universities are collaborating with community groups to apply research, scholarship, and service to real-life problems. They are integrating such partnerships into their curriculum, academic studies, and student activities, making them part of their ongoing mission. America’s colleges and universities have more intellectual talent than any other institutions in our society, and many of them are using these partnerships to tackle the complex socioeconomic issues facing the neighborhoods that surround them, such as poverty, joblessness, crime, and homelessness. The third volume in a series, this publication highlights some of the partnerships and bold initiatives undertaken by institutions of higher education and nearby communities. The partnerships combine the strengths of both for the mutual benefit of both. Each partnership exemplifies an emerging new paradigm of scholarship, one that moves beyond seeking and teaching knowledge to putting it into practice at local schools, neighborhood organizations, and small businesses. Many of these institutions are taking a cross-disciplinary approach to pressing social issues and are institutionalizing community service and problem-solving into every aspect of their mission. Undergraduates are engaging in community projects to bring academic knowledge to everyday life. Graduate students are working with local groups to apply research to community issues. Faculty members are becoming practitioners and practitioners are coming to campuses to lecture, teach, and advise. Classes and laboratories are now conducted in places such as public schools, community centers, health clinics, homeless shelters, and government offices. The U.S.

There is pressure for greater board accountability on a range of governance issues, including presidential compensation, cost and price, quality, and fiduciary oversight. These pressures mean boards will need to engage in a new level of work, with more diligence, independence, and greater understanding of and attention to their duties. These changing expectations for boards require AGB to respond. —From the AGB Strategic Plan, August 2006 THE NEXUS OF LEADERSHIP A N D A CCOU nt ABI L I T Y Webster’s defines “accountable” as “obliged to account for one’s acts; responsible.” In the last year or so, the higher education community has been swamped with appeals to be more accountable. Though the calls have been fervent, they have not been entirely explicit, in that none outlines specific benchmarks of accountability. Perhaps we’re just being asked to continue doing what we have done well all along—only better. Several national reports—most prominently the Secretary of Education’s Commission on the Future of Higher Education, the State Higher Education Executive Officers’ National Commission on Accountability in Higher Education, and AGB’s own Task Force on the State of the Presidency in American Higher Education—have enumerated the factors driving the calls for accountability.
