Becoming a student ready college

This book on ‘student ready college’ articulates a vision for what higher education research has been reiterating for years is needed for student success-a brave undertaking. They lay out the premise that we do not lack ideas but the will to change and believe the vision they set forth will provide that needed motivation. It speaks to important principles for the future of postsecondary education-the need for ongoing improvement through organizational learning, the need to redesign our colleges to collaborate and partner, and to operate through shared governance and distributed leadership to create holistic learning experiences for students. -Adrianna Kezar, professor of higher education, University of Southern California
