Patricia McGuire is president of Trinity Washington University, a Catholic women’s institution in Washington, DC. Over three decades of leadership, she has committed the university to the service of Black and working-class women in their home community; Trinity’s student body is now 90% women of color and 50% Pell-eligible. Pat McGuire is also become a vibrant, influential voice for racial equity and economic equality in higher education. Here we discuss Trinity’s social-justice mission, the public responsibilities of higher ed and higher ed leaders, and her own personal journey.
