When Elizabeth A. Hardin received The Charlotte Ledger’s 40 Over 40 Award in 2020, she served as vice chancellor for business affairs at UNC Charlotte.
Today, she describes the past year of her life as a sabbatical, as she has been at Harvard University as a fellow in the Harvard Advanced Leadership Initiative, which is designed to broaden, deepen and accelerate social impact.
She’s also an active member of her church community at Holy Comforter Episcopal Church and leads a discussion-based book group that encourages community and deep discussions on challenging topics.
In this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, Hardin discusses:
Her time working at UNC Charlotte.
How the UNC school system has grown over the years.
