In the Regions Business Philadelphia article titled, "The Women who Lead in Philadelphia," Chestnut Hill College President, Carol Jean Vale, SSJ, Ph.D., is prominently featured alongside eight other  women, whose career success is setting a positive example for young female professionals hoping to break into top executive and leadership positions.

Vale remarks on her journey through the educational system that led to her being given a chance to apply for and then be appointed president of the College, as well as offers advice for others looking to do the same.

"Well-researched, carefully calculated risks are meant to be taken," she says. Vale also encourages young professionals to not be afraid of failure and to always acknowledge the importance of teamwork in one's individual path to success.
