New Book: The Community-Centric Path to Rebuilding Trust in Higher Education
Posted by Campus Compact on May 26, 2026
This new book, The Community-Centric Path to Rebuilding Trust in Higher Education, by Byron P. White reimagines community engagement as an essential operational driver for sustaining universities and offers a bold alternative to the customer-focused strategies many colleges seek to regain stability.
Across eight chapters informed by interviews with higher education leaders, examination of emerging frameworks, and compelling profiles of exemplary institutions, White showcases innovative principles and practices that advance strategic priorities and foster community-focused structures. Tailored for higher education leaders, community engagement practitioners, and scholars, this volume makes a compelling case for integrating public impact with organizational transformation.
