Becoming a Student-Ready College: A New Culture of Leadership for Student Success, 2nd Ed.

Posted by American Association of Colleges & Universities on August 30, 2022

To ask whether students are “college-ready” is to concentrate on factors beyond the control of higher education.

Becoming a Student-Ready College by Tia Brown McNair, Susan Albertine, Nicole McDonald, and Thomas Major, Jr, and Michelle Asha Cooper explores leaders’ shared responsibilities in advancing student success and provides practical recommendations for educators at all levels.
