Pre-order my new book, “How To Be A Small College” Now:
How to be a small college is a practical book. It draws on observations about how colleges and communities work today, to offer clear guidance to people who want their small colleges to flourish.
Much of the guidance is counter-cultural:
Small colleges shouldn’t copy what large universities do.
Small colleges must, instead, focus and be local.
Doing so requires that they take work seriously, that they support different modes of leadership, and that they let their weaknesses become their strengths.
Only by embracing their small nature can they spark a renaissance for small colleges and a renewal of the communities they serve.
Inside the book?
Based on industry research and interviews with college presidents, administrators, faculty, and students, each section of the book presents case studies and actionable insights on how to achieve meaningful differentiation and use it to nurture love and belonging on campus and beyond.
