Abstract:
Leading America's Branch Campuses provides focused, pragmatic advice, by experienced branch campus professionals, across a very broad range of leadership, including system relations, fund raising, faculty issues, communication (internal and external), strategic planning, and campus organization. Chapter contributors include campus presidents/chancellors, provosts, deans, program directors and faculty members, representing two-year, baccalaureate and graduate institutions from Florida to Washington state. Dr. Schuman's style is direct and jargon-free, and he emphasizes practical issues more than abstract theories.
