Book Description
Understanding the entrepreneurial nature of universities—in particular, the relationship between education and health in relation to development and wellness of communities—this volume provides a description/narration of the efforts in how universities can address their shifting contexts while engaging their communities in social change. In the development of this book, we have explored how reforms in American higher education are impacting the role of universities and their faculty. Contributors were asked to imagine possibilities for research and outreach by providing salient examples of how higher education can lead and change how we view the role of health and education within institutions and society. Each author writes across common themes that address the problems and possibilities of higher education curriculum and projects aligned with the mission of stewardship. The authors highlight interdisciplinary approaches and projects for faculty work, modification of the Teaching-Research-Service expectations, and community initiatives that can emerge from real-life problems (to impact wellbeing) and create rich and deep research possibilities for practitioners to impact both higher education and society. The process and research approaches used by the authors include imagining the community as part of a process of the change and part of what changes, exploring how community change can build on the strengths of local people, and why community organization and advocacy should revolve around social learning and community capacity theories. Given the diversity of topics and approaches, as editors we have tried to honour both the authors’ words and style in expressing their opinions to provide a forum for the readers to envision stewardship.

Book Description
Written for college leaders at all levels as well as for trustees, this book engages the reader, via narrative and analysis, with the reflective and the practical knowledge essential to a constructive legacy. Leaders of colleges and universities hold in trust an enterprise of complex mission, governance, and outcome. Most will take office with accompanying media celebration of their past records and future promise. Each will exit with a legacy. A few will leave behind tragic legacies of defeated spirits, corrupted organizations, and shameful ethical records. In Leadership Legacy Moments, the author reflects upon the ideas, skills, and values that are essential to effective leadership so that a leader leaves behind a student body with great promise, a set of accomplishments achieved in concert with faculty and staff, and an institutional culture that inspires curiosity, courage, and compassion. Professor Bogue illustrates how ideas and values are linked in the stewardship of one of our nation's premier organizational enterprises. The book is about constructing a leadership legacy that is both effective and ethical.

Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1, , language: English, abstract: The quest for excellence, growth, and sustainability in Christian tertiary institutions is intrinsically interwoven with the institutional mission and social justice. The urgency of the quest has escalated as the United States of America strives to educate its citizens to work, live, and contribute in a constantly changing global context. Thus, the Christian tertiary institutions, accommodating a diverse student population, sustainability require success in engaging, attracting and retaining diverse donors, faculty, and staff. Consequently, the significance of institutional leadership in developing a sustainable commitment to tertiary education is recognized. As the demands for Christian education systems have increased, student motivation and new methods of achieving student academic outcomes continue to be increasingly elusive. Research has, however found that improved academic outcomes can be attained through effective school leadership which attends to the needs of the tertiary institutions. The studies have found that creative, visionary, knowledgeable, and inspiring educational leaders are critical to the building and fostering of a positive institutional environment to help attain the education goals and the sustainability of the institutions beyond the twenty-first century. Consequently, the leaders and sponsors must display the stewardship tenets as a practical operational approach to the management and sustainability of the institutions. The aim of this research is to discuss the financial and material stewardship for sustaining Christian Tertiary institutions.

Book Description
The Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED)—an inter-institutional action project of the Carnegie Foundation—is a consortium of universities pursuing the goals of instituting a clear distinction between the professional doctorate in education and the research doctorate; and improving reliably and across contexts the efficacy of programs leading the professional doctorate in education. To this end, the aim is to advance the Education Doctorate (EdD) as the highest quality degree for the professional preparation of educational practitioners. With this book, the editors offer multiple perspectives of graduates from several CPED-influenced programs and allow these graduates to describe how they have experienced innovative professional practice preparation. The chapters in this book tell the reader a story of transformation providing several narratives that describe each graduate’s progression through their doctoral studies. Authors specifically chronicle how individual EdD programs prepared them to be scholarly practitioners, and how their doctoral studies changed who they have become as people and practitioners. The primary market for this project would be scholars, professors, and students interested in higher education and doctoral education. In particular, those that are interested in understanding the purpose of the Education Doctorate (EdD) and its role in preparing Stewards of the Practice.

Book Description
Amid changing economic and social contexts, radical changes have occurred in public higher education policies over the past three decades. Public Policy and Higher Educationprovides readers with new ways to analyze these complex state policies and offers the tools to examine how policies affect students’ access and success in college. Rather than arguing for a single approach, the authors examine how policymakers and higher education administrators can work to inform and influence change within systems of higher education using research-based evidence along with consideration of political and historical values and beliefs. Special Features: Case Studies—allow readers to examine strategies used by different types of colleges to improve access and retention. Reflective Exercises—encourage readers to discuss state and campus context for policy decisions and to think about the strategies used in a state or institution. Approachable Explanations—unpack complex public policies and financial strategies for readers who seek understanding of public policy in higher education. Research-Based Recommendations—explore how policymakers, higher education administrators and faculty can work together to improve quality, diversity, and financial stewardship. This textbook is an invaluable resource for graduate students, administrators, policymakers, and researchers who seek to learn more about the crucial contexts underlying policy decisions and college access.
