Download or read book Titles Are Hard but College Doesn t Have to Be written by Joshua Hornig and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Titles Are Hard, but College Doesn't Have to Be is a book written to help you navigate and make sense of the sometimes challenging period of time that is your freshman year of college. At the same time, though, people take life too seriously. So to help ease the mood, Titles Are Hard approaches the subject of going to college with a tone of general lightheartedness. The pages of this book are filled with insight acquired through real-life experience, discussion, and reflection of how to effectively and successfully make your way through your early time in college while also peppering in a joke here or there to help keep you reminded that this isn't a textbook, and it is possible to enjoy reading. The book is split up into three major sections. The first is about how to successfully adapt and live in the new environment that going off to college leads you to because living effectively is pretty important to being able to do anything else effectively. The second section focuses on the academic portion of college. Not everyone took high school seriously, but college offers a chance to realign how schoolwork is handled. Some helpful tips and nudges may just be the thing to set yourself on the right track. Finally the last section of the book is meant to cover all the nooks and crannies that stray outside of simply living and studying. By the book's end, the hope of the author is that you, the reader, feels a bit more equipped as well as encouraged to be able to go out and make the most of that first year of working toward your degree. So whether you pick up and give this book a read or pass on by, just keep in mind that summing up a book within a small title can be hard, but going off to college doesn't have to be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NPR Favorite Book of the Year “Breaks new ground on social and educational questions of great import.” —Washington Post “An essential work, humane and candid, that challenges and expands our understanding of the lives of contemporary college students.” —Paul Tough, author of Helping Children Succeed “Eye-opening...Brings home the pain and reality of on-campus poverty and puts the blame squarely on elite institutions.” —Washington Post “Jack’s investigation redirects attention from the matter of access to the matter of inclusion...His book challenges universities to support the diversity they indulge in advertising.” —New Yorker The Ivy League looks different than it used to. College presidents and deans of admission have opened their doors—and their coffers—to support a more diverse student body. But is it enough just to admit these students? In this bracing exposé, Anthony Jack shows that many students’ struggles continue long after they’ve settled in their dorms. Admission, they quickly learn, is not the same as acceptance. This powerfully argued book documents how university policies and campus culture can exacerbate preexisting inequalities and reveals why some students are harder hit than others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining expert knowledge, experience and reflections from senior leaders to distil collective leadership experiences, this book explores the realities of leadership at universities rather than the imagined and often-unrealistic expectations and perceptions of how leaders should act. This key text is an informed insider’s guide to leadership transitions that will assist talented individuals in considering whether to apply for, how to prepare for and how to take on the task of leading a university. The collection of leadership experiences provided will help universities to be more successful, students to have great educational experiences and staff at all levels to have more-fulfilling working environments. It will also consider how to avoid the emotional pain and suffering that can arise when leaders find themselves poorly equipped, unprepared, unable or unwilling to provide the sound and competent leadership that universities deserve. Centred on the practice and experience of leadership, this book will be a must-read for all new and existing heads of universities. It will also provide useful insights to those actively involved in the recruitment and development of senior leaders, members of senior leadership teams and those who hold governance roles in universities. Further updates and details about the application of the ideas in the book in practice can be found at www.leadershiptransitionsatthetop.com/.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women in America have come a long way in the last hundred years, from lacking the right to vote to holding some of the highest profile positions in the country. But this change has not come without struggle. More Than Title IX highlights the impact of one of the most powerful instruments of change—education. The book takes readers behind the scenes of some of the most influential moments for gender equity in education and tells the dramatic stories of the women and men who made these changes possible. The narrative blends historical analysis with dynamic interview excerpts with people whose actions made a difference in both educational equity and in the country as a whole. By showing how hard-won changes in education have improved life for women and men in America over the past century, the authors remind readers not to take freedoms for granted.
