It’s not every day — or every decade — that you hear of a new university starting up. For a nonprofit, it's not the most lucrative business venture, and the startup costs and regulatory hurdles are intense. But Caitlin O’R. B. Carter and Maren Rosenbach are determined to build a new kind of higher-education institution in the Seattle area. In this first episode of 2022, we speak with these bold founders of Wright University. Named after Carter’s late grandmother who was a lifelong educator, Carter and Rosenbach envision Wright University to be an inclusive four-year school focused on racial and social justice “by employing and educating those historically excluded by academia.” They are aiming to raise $500 million in capital to open a physical campus in the Seattle area and start enrolling students by fall of 2023.  Listen in to learn more about their compelling vision and what it takes to start a new university in the midst of a worldwide pandemic.
