At the Community College: Smiles and Reflections

by Jeffrey Ross

Overview

Community colleges provide valuable learning experiences for millions of Americans. But they are not mini-universities or dedicated trade schools—they offer a unique higher-ed pathway which is often misunderstood and sometimes under-appreciated. This book provides a behind-the-scenes look at daily community college life—from student, administrative, board, and faculty perspectives! You will learn (or recognize) a great deal about daily community college machinations and the "characters" who are hard at work to make the community college journey "sustainable." Both humorous and revealing, the engaged reader will come away with a new appreciation for the American Community College Event!
