President to President: "The Next Big Thing"
Edited by Dr. Scott D. Miller & Dr. Marylouise Fennell
This year's book, titled "The Next Big Thing," explores some of the most pressing issues in higher education today. When the theme was selected before launching the series last fall, we could not have predicted that the "next big thing" would be a global pandemic that would fundamentally change many facets of higher education.
Viewed through the lens of this still unfolding event, the topics covered in this year's President to President series hold even greater relevance. From the value of forming strategic partnerships and the need to rethink the role of higher education in workforce readiness to ideas for leveraging digital learning and strengthening community relations, college and university presidents shared myriad concepts over the course of 10 chapters.
