“I’m Not Just Changing What I’m Putting on Television Screens”

Jillian Hiscock, Gustavus class of 2005 and owner of the newly-opened (as of March 2024) A Bar of Their Own in Minneapolis, the only bar in Minnesota devoted entirely to women’s athletics, speaks about her background and path to Gustavus; some of her formative experiences there, including a philosophy course on schools and society; her work in college admission and then for two nonprofits dedicated to helping young people from underserved communities succeed in college and careers; originating and opening the acclaimed A Bar of Their Own without any prior business experience; her vision for the bar; and a one-word post-it note from her dad years ago that in its own way says much about her and how she approaches life and learning.
