Making College Better Views from the Top

"Joseph L. DeVitis has assembled an impressive array of college presidents from both the private and public sectors who don't mince words about the current state and future of American higher education. Each of them has a unique perspective, context, and story; and there is much to be learned from their wisdom, oversights, and forecasts. This book should be read by those seeking to be college presidents and, more widely, by anyone interested in higher education leadership."- Marybeth Gasman, Professor of Higher Education, University of Pennsylvania; Director, Penn Center for Minority Serving Institutions
