Roshni D. Lal, Ph.D. is the Director of the Office of Academic Appointments & Internships at the Smithsonian Institution. Fun fact: she is our first guest who is serving in a leadership role on the employer side (after spending years in leadership roles on the higher education side). Roshni is a visionary thinker and one of the most passionate, articulate professionals working in our field today.

In this episode, we discuss how and when she first discovered she enjoyed being a leader, her "issues and initiatives" approach to 1:1 meetings with her staff, her visionary idea to rebrand career centers as "identity centers", and the unique challenges second generation and multi-ethnic students face.
