Write a review
Academic institutions are changing fast. And so must the people advancing them.
Swift and fundamental changes are coming to the world’s colleges, universities, and schools. The changes are riding a wave of new attitudes about the role of government in education, who should support education, the responsibilities of students and parents, education as a competitive industry, and more. Some might say education is an industry at risk.
These developments will lead to advancement professionals having a more central role in the academy. But this prominence will come with higher expectations, greater accountability, and the necessity to practice advancement crafts with more sophistication.
This book is about the effect of these changes on the people who will deal with the consequences.
