Produktbeschreibung

This book is a call to transform colleges and universities to meet the academic and student experience needs of New Majority students, who are older, likely to swirl among institutions, and balance significant adult responsibilities. We also call on adult educators to become advocates, allies, and resources for needed reforms.
