A Conversation with the President In the fall of 2014, Dr. Don Christian added his name to a historic list that includes Studtmann, Beto, and Cedel — names which now adorn Concordia’s campus streets and buildings. After thirty years of teaching in various capacities, the self proclaimed ‘doer’ would quickly find that being president and CEO would challenge him to focus less on executing things himself and more on managing others in that process. He sat down with us to discuss the challenges and joys of learning to manage outcomes, creating a new campus culture, and continuing to spur growth toward the ultimate goal of student success.
