Description

Civic Engagement, Civic Development, and Higher Education: New Perspectives on Transformational Learning focuses on the instrumental role of leadership and highlights the importance of individuals who are integral to the building process. Included among the authors are presidents, chancellors, deans, and distinguished professors who recognize the infrastructure required for implementation, and whose leadership takes the work to the next level. These are individuals who have stepped forward with ideas, fueled by values and visions, that provide direction and inspiration for the work, without which little change is likely to last. These kinds of individuals are not the only ones involved in the building process, as change can originate almost anywhere in an institution, but they are among the most important. The authors each operate in distinct types of institutions—including small and large, public and private, from community colleges to research universities—but, together, they recognize that individuals with ideas and inspiration are forces that help build capacity for the civic mission of higher education.
