Summary

Small colleges face increasingly complex and difficult challenges while struggling to remain competitive and relevant amid concerns about dwindling student enrollment, reduced funding, public relations issues, and ever-increasing federal regulatory and accreditation requirements. The list goes on.

For rural community colleges, the situation is often even worse: staffing shortages, recruiting concerns, and fundraising challenges. The demographics and economic realities for rural institutions are often dismal.

Do you wish you had an instruction manual to help you navigate these difficult situations? Now you do! Long-time community college president Dr. Daniel Barwick draws on national trends, the latest research, and his own unique experiences as the president of Independence Community College of Netflix’s Last Chance U fame to provide timely lessons from which all college administrators can learn.
