  • Early Presidential Discourses of Gordon Gee
    BECOMING THE UNIVERSITY: EARLY PRESIDENTIAL DISCOURSES OF GORDON GEE By Michael W. Rishell A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY HIGHER, ADULT AND LIFELONG EDUCATION 2011 Abstract BECOMING THE UNIVERSITY: EARLY PRESIDENTIAL DISCOURSES OF GORDON GEE By Michael W. Rishell The author explores Gordon Gee’s career as a university president. There is a special focus on the journey Gee made between 1990, when he first became president of The Ohio State University, to 2007, when he returned to Ohio State for another term as university president ten years later. During this time away from Ohio State, he served as the president (or chancellor) of both Brown University and Vanderbilt University. Data are reviewed from these presidencies, as well. Individual discourse, professional discourse, and organizational discourse were examined through a variety of data, including discourse analyses of the speeches given by Gee in the early days of each of these four presidencies. The dissertation provides a model, The Triangle of Leadership Discourse, which serves to illustrate the necessary balance of discourses which must remain in harmony with one another for the tenure of leadership to be successful. Copyright by MICHAEL W. RISHELL 2011 Dedication To my wife, Ann Snyder Rishell, and my daughter, Sabine Rishell: No one makes me laugh like you do, and no one makes me happier. Thank you, both, for making this possible. iv Acknowledgements First of all, a grand thank you to my committee: Marilyn Amey, you made this happen and I will forever be grateful.
