The series offers an in-depth look into the lives and careers of women leaders in the community.

She shared what she learned during the past three years as she served as the first female provost at The Citadel in Charleston, S.C.

“I felt myself learning a whole new skill set and navigating a different culture,” Book told WFMY. “When the opportunity came to sit at the head of the table at Elon, … it was the desire to provide the highest level of service at the highest level of a unit.”
