Individual Careers and Institutional Roles

Beschreibung

Advance Praise for Academic Deanship "The Academic Deanship offers clear, balanced, and comprehensive advice that, if heeded, should save future deans from a variety of painful mistakes and occupational hazards." -Richard Saller, dean, Social Sciences Division, University of Chicago "David Bright and Mary Richards have combined their sixteen plus years of deanship to reveal the 'why, what, and where' of what many call the most interesting and satisfying of academic jobs. Aimed at those who aspire to be dean as well as those currently sitting, standing, or running as dean, this volume will entertain, enlighten, and educate all readers." -Ernie Peek, executive director, Council of Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Arizona State University "Regardless of background, the job of academic dean holds surprises for anyone. The Academic Deanship provides a roadmap into the 'wilderness' for new deans and those who wish to be." -David L. Shrock, dean, College of Business Administration, Marquette University "This is a book that a dean will return to time and time again to find practical advice as well as perspective on the many issues that emerge each day. It is the type of resource guide that I would have found valuable when I assumed the deanship." -Glenda D. Price, president, Marygrove College, Detroit, Michigan
