Advancing Presidential Careers: Operationalizing Sponsorship in Higher Education

Abstract

Higher education scholars have studied the American college presidency. Yet, fewer studies have prioritized the support systems needed to ensure that the presidential pipeline is representative of the students they serve. By examining the concept of sponsorship through a hermeneutical phenomenological approach, this piece described the mechanisms that Latino college presidents used to gain access to sponsors with the ability to deliver high-octane advocacy to propel their careers. Findings were framed to support the pipeline of future presidents who hold historically marginalized identities. Implications for higher education practice were offered.
