Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early in her tenure as president of Mount Holyoke College, Joanne V. Creighton faced crises as students staged protests and occupied academic buildings; the alumnae association threatened a revolt; and a distinguished professor became the subject of a major scandal. Yet Creighton weathered each storm, serving for nearly fifteen years in office and shepherding the college through a notable revitalization. In her autobiography, The Educational Odyssey of a Woman College President, Creighton situates her tenure at Mount Holyoke within a life and career that have traversed breathtaking changes in higher education and social life. Having held multiple roles in academia spanning undergraduate, professor, and president, Creighton served at small colleges and large public universities and experienced the dramatic changes facing women across the academy. From her girlhood in Wisconsin to the presidency of a storied women's college, she bears witness to the forces that have reshaped higher education for women and continues to advocate for the liberal arts and sciences.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to develop a profile of female community college presidents by examining their personal characteristics, career paths, mentorship, and professional development. The participants in this study were female community college presidents whose institutions were members of the Association of Community College Trustees. Quantitative data were gathered and analyzed to obtain a demographic profile and provided an update to the research findings of two similar studies about female college presidents and their ascension to presidencies. The results of this study suggested that participants had mentors who influenced their career paths to become presidents. Furthermore, an analysis of the data revealed that participating in professional development activities provided additional skills and opportunities that helped the participants become presidents. Finally, the data suggested that following the traditional career path of faculty member, dean, chief academic officer, and then president was not necessary to become a president. These findings were compared to similar studies. This study adds to the body of literature that examines women in leadership at community colleges. of Advanced Studies, Leadership and Policy The problem examined in this study was the phenomena of disproportionate suspension of African American males in urban high schools. In order to evaluate this phenomenon, a cultural lens was used to understand the experiences that led to suspension of African American males at True Urban High School. Research participants recounted (in their own voices) the suspension experience from precipitating event(s) to culmination. Further, the researcher examined the degree to which teachers' level of cultural proficiency played a role in the imposition of suspension on these students. In order to understand the suspension experiences, a qualitative research design was employed. Survey data from seven African American male participants (four of the seven were purposefully selected for individual interview sessions) and two teachers were analyzed in the completion of this research. -- Abstract.

Book excerpt: Although much has been written about leaders and leadership, we unfortunately know little about the women who fill this particular role. This book--the first in a series that explores women leaders in different contexts--remedies this gap by presenting the reflections of nine women community college, college, and university presidents on what they see as key tenets of leadership, illuminated by pivotal events in their careers. These presidents know the power of words, and in telling their stories through these interviews with the authors, they let us know who they are, what their visions are, and what they value. While they express some differences in their emphases on particular leadership characteristics, they show remarkable unanimity in their beliefs as to which are the most important--competence, credibility, and communication. The participants discuss the growing opportunities for women in higher education administration, without minimizing the barriers that still exist, nor the potential for backlash against powerful and assertive women. They stress the need for women to be very careful about making the correct choices for themselves; to balance personal life and work; and to appropriately prepare for leadership.

Book excerpt: This book, published by the American Association of Community Colleges, contains valuable information about the nation's community college presidents. The authors provide a comprehensive profile of these leaders, highlighting different characteristics most presidents hold in common as well as important differences that emerge when data are cross-tabulated according to age, gender, and race. The findings on the risk and stress levels of the presidency could be used to encourage (or discourage) interested individuals to pursue the presidency as a career choice, and could be used by leadership training institutes to advise students about career choices and chances of success. The book contains a foreword by David R. Pierce, and chapters include: (1) "The State of the Presidency"; (2) "Family Background"; (3) "Pathways to the Presidency"; (4) "Assuming the Presidency: Routines and Relationships"; (5) "On the Job: Worldviews and Aspirations"; (6) "Views from the Trenches: Seven Presidents Speak Out"; (7) "Looking to the Future: More Views from the Trenches"; and (8) "The Presidency in Transition."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College presidents lead taxing and complex, though enormously fulfilling and rewarding, lives. The story that unfolds in College Presidents Reflect: Life in and out of the Ivory Tower is fashioned from the perspectives of over two-dozen retired former college presidents. The over-their-shoulders view we get from these men and women who have sat on the presidential perch provides an unprecedented view of the office, of the pathways to presidencies, and of the ways in which tenures conclude when presidents decide, at times pushed, to exit. Does anything after leaving office compare with the status and regard regularly accorded presidents? How do their bully pulpits change from the power of the presidency to life? What are the high successes and unforeseen regrets born out of time in the office? From their journeys we learn lessons about leadership. We hear about how one gets into the presidency, planned or not. There is only one true source of insight and reflection about these issues and that is those who have been there, these former college presidents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays grew out of conversations among several women presidents at an AASCU annual meeting in Arizona. The essays reveal women's perspectives on leadership and the job of president. The pieces explore and record the realities of day-to-day experiences of women presidents striving to achieve important goals for higher education and for themselves. 'The authors are themselves a special company. Sometimes battleweary, but always unbowed, they bring us an amazing variety of concepts and experiences. They share with us, often in a very personal vein, their answers to perplexing questions: What's it like to be in charge? How does a woman get there? What does it take to demonstrate staying power? What about a second or third presidency? What happens to personal and family relationships along the way? And possibly most difficult of all, how can the special strengths of being female serve a role in society which has traditionally been seen as male?' The thirteen chapters of the volume are indeed 'an enlightening treat.'

Book excerpt: In contrast to its rapidly changing student population, the demographic profile of higher education presidents has remained homogenous and women, particularly minority women, are significantly underrepresented at the executive level. Multiple factors including: the impending retirement of aging, current presidents, the increased turnover and shorter tenures of college presidents, and the varying needs of an increasingly diverse student population, have created a window of opportunity for achieving diversification. In the context of the significant underrepresentation of women and minority women college presidents and the window of opportunity for diversification, this phenomenological study utilized the frameworks of Social Cognitive Career Theory and Intersectionality to explore the perceived impact of race, gender, and other salient identity structures on the journey experiences of seven white and six African American women college presidents. Findings suggest that while gender is becoming more and more peripheral, there are still barriers to progression stemming from gender bias. For African American women presidents, journey experiences are often shaped by the interlocking tensions of race and gender and race appears to be a salient factor in progression. Despite the various challenges resulting from these social constructs, the women employed various strategies for navigating the presidential pipeline including mentorship, taking opportunities, participation in formal leadership development programs, and ensuring a firm understanding of institutional fit.
