Dr. Shai L. Butler is the Vice President for Advancement & External Affairs at Springfield Technical Community College in Springfield, MA.
Dr. Shai, (as she is affectionately called by her students) was educated at the University at Albany/State University of New York where she earned both bachelor's and master’s degrees, and at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts where she earned a doctorate in Law & Policy. She has been progressively employed as a leader in higher education management for over two decades in sectors that range from state universities, private institutions and community colleges. Dr. Shai’s background informs who she is as a writer, blogger, speaker, professional coach, and mentor.
A Brooklyn native and long time resident of New York’s Capital Region she speaks openly about overcoming adversity to succeed in life. As a teen mom who failed out of college and later went on to survive many other difficulties, she is part of a subpopulation of individuals who define themselves as survivors and thrivers.
