When I was a graduate student, I was inspired by Dr. Danielle St. Hilaire‘s confidence as a woman in higher education. In part two of her two-part interview, Danielle talks about her experiences leading the Duquesne University English department during the pandemic, reminisces about the teachers who inspired her, and shares nuggets of wisdom from her own journey creating a persona and appearance that feel authentically hers in the classroom. She also shares insights from her own vantage point about the future of higher education post pandemic.
