‘Real Equity’: Southern New Hampshire U’s Next President Shares Her Vision

In spite of Paul LeBlanc’s transformative role in reshaping Southern New Hampshire University into one of the country’s thriving hybrid “mega-universities,” students might not notice any big changes when he steps down at the end of June. LeBlanc, who has led Southern New Hampshire as president for 20 years, built a small, sleepy campus of 2,500 students into an online giant serving more than 200,000 students. Upon leaving, he will hand the reins to Lisa Marsh Ryerson, who is currently provost.
