With countless great stories across the North Central College campus and the wider Cardinal community, we’ve created a new way to share them.
Welcome to 1861, the North Central College Podcast
Join us on this journey. Let’s see where it leads. A liberal arts education is about examining diverse perspectives, asking questions, and engaging in dialogue, so we’ll aim to have conversations that will get you thinking — inspire and challenge you. Maybe even smile ... or laugh.
Whether you are a current or prospective student, faculty or staff member, alum, friend or fan, we hope you enjoy a bird’s-eye view of what makes North Central College special.
Dr. David Green, Paleka-Thomson Dean of the School of Business and Entrepreneurship, joins the podcast following a landmark moment for the College: earning AACSB accreditation, widely considered the gold standard in business education.
Green reflects on his journey from rural Kentucky to higher education leadership, his passion for teaching and mentorship, and the evolving intersection of business and technology. He also shares how North Central’s business programs prepare students for success through experiential learning, industry partnerships and a commitment to continuous innovation.
Listen along as Green discusses the significance of AACSB accreditation for current students, alumni and future Cardinals — and why he believes North Central is uniquely positioned to shape the next generation of business leaders.
