Recenzii
"The authors provide both opinions and evidence to support the cause, as well as case studies from various successful programs. The strength of the book lies in its ability to help the reader imagine a new, less traditional view of higher education. While the CCB may not be the ultimate solution, readers will be given the freedom to unabashedly consider new options. No matter your role in an institution or your opinion of the CCB, this book will ask you to consider the future of higher education. Will we be willing to change or will we require our students to find ways to conform to the status quo? Will we take the challenge to 'suspend...categorical thinking and unstuck' from our traditional ways (Remington & Remington, p. 4)?"

Descriere
This book may or may not convert those who are concerned about ‘mission creep’ of community colleges, but it sure will give them something to think about. This book provides some thoughts on how to create a new model going forward and it deserves serious consideration.
