Wired for Success

As tuition costs rise, student loan debt spirals and the job market continues to tighten, the pressure is on for higher education to provide a far greater value on academic investment. But, as this call for reform grows louder, so does the debate around what it will take for colleges and universities to deliver on that promise, in a changing world and a changing workforce. 

Wired for Success, co-authored by Dr. Susan Aldridge and Kathleen Harvatt, offers plenty of sound advice and relevant examples from “the gazelles” of higher education – those fast running thought leaders and innovation evangelists, who are boldly forging new and more effective directions on campuses across the United States. The book was published by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities.
