"Susan Ambrose and Laura Wankel make a compelling case for change in higher ed, laying out a strategy for college and university leaders to break down their legacy structures and invent something new. This book is necessary reading for every professor, administrator, and trustee who cares about what the future holds for one of our most treasured assets." -Jeffrey J. Selingo, New York Times bestselling author and special advisor, Arizona State University "This book is an illuminating synthesis of the dynamics within and around higher education. Its gift is its focus on harnessing these shifts to seize the opportunity to become higher learning??rather than higher education." -Philomena Mantella, PhD, President, Grand Valley State University "Rapidly changing demographics and technological advance demand innovation in higher education that integrates, rather than polarizes, skills acquisition and intellectual engagement. Ambrose and Wankel deftly shift our focus from the university to the learner and a complex system of stakeholders, where collaboration, flexibility, and creativity are essential for our nation to thrive. This carefully researched analysis offers both challenge and hope with reasoned guidance for transformative leadership." -Susan Rundell Singer, PhD, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Rollins College "This is a must-read for faculty, staff and key stakeholders working to help colleges and universities advance their mission in very turbulent times. The authors make a compelling case for the transformational period in which colleges and universities operate and suggest a range of important conversations that should be occurring on every campus. We are in a period of rapid change with substantial 'headwinds' in higher education??and this book frames these critical issues and the need for new thinking and innovation going forward." -Kevin Kruger, PhD, President, NASPA Student Affairs Administrators In Higher Education "It is a pleasure to read a book about higher education that is both urgent and optimistic. Higher Education's Road to Relevance presents a compact treatment of a big landscape, connecting the contexts demanding change to the research and strategies needed to respond. The thesis is not only that transformation is necessary, but that we have the evidentiary base, and a huge range of models and practices, to justify the optimism." -Randy Bass, Vice Provost for Education, Professor of English, Director, Red House/ Baker Trust for Transformational Learning, Georgetown University "Higher Education's Road to Relevance: Navigating Complexity should be on every higher education administrator's reading list. Ambrose and Wankel highlight a myriad of ways in which our current system of offering degrees is vulnerable to shifts in technologies, political will, demographics, and new competitors. Rather than merely point out these vulnerabilities, they offer examples of innovation that could be adapted and adopted to mitigate or even leverage these changes for greater student success and institutional health. It is a refreshing look at where we are today in American higher education and should ignite serious strategic conversations on every college campus." -Tom Green, PhD, Associate Executive Director Consulting and SEM, AACRAO
