Meet Erika James, the first woman to be appointed dean of the Wharton School. (via CNBCMakeIt)
Though being a "first" comes with a lot of pressure, James says she hopes she's not the last woman or African-American to step into her role. "My hope is that we start to normalize this experience and one day we won't have to start stories with 'What does it feel like to be the first' because people just become so accustomed to it."
"I got the bug in that first year," she says. "On the teaching side, seeing the impact I was having by virtue of being at the front of the classroom and helping to spark interesting ideas for people and provide opportunities for their academic engagement just became more and more of a powerful motivator for me."
As someone who has commonly been the only, or one of very few women or people of color in a room, James says her biggest advice for other professionals who are navigating a similar career path is to always let their results speak for themselves.
