Dannel Malloy, Chancellor of the University of Maine System and former governor of Connecticut, joins Dr. Lisa Belisle on Radio Maine to discuss education, opportunity, and the responsibility we share to help one another succeed.

 

Diagnosed with dyslexia as a child during a time when learning differences were often misunderstood, Malloy reflects on the teachers, family members, and mentors who advocated for him and helped him discover new ways to learn. Those experiences shaped a career dedicated to public service, educational access, and creating systems that support people before they reach crisis points.

 

From early intervention and higher education to COVID's lasting impact on students and the opportunities presented by emerging technologies like AI, this conversation explores how communities can become stronger by investing in one another.
