"Higher education's must-read book of 2022! Three higher-ed authors, 100+ college and university presidents, dozens of actionable insights for academic leaders."
Colleges and universities that provide millions of degree and non-degree credentials each year are a vital backbone of communities and economies. These institutions elevate the critical-thinking capacities of students and learners, and they provide crucial job skills and life skills to emerging workforces.
But the skills we need, the ways in which we collaborate, and the very jobs available to graduates are changing. It's time for higher education to start anew. It's time for Commencement into a new era.
"Institutions must step into the market with things that are scalable and different and accelerated and that really respond to how adults learn." - Dr. Philomena Mantella, President, Grand Valley State University
In their highly anticipated book born from interviews with 100+ college and university presidents, Kate Colbert and Joe Sallustio, EdD, welcome you into a conversation like no other.
Discover how you can seize the moment to change higher education forever.
Maybe you're an administrator. A board member. A member of the faculty or staff. An ed-tech or educational services leader. Or a policymaker. If you work in or around higher education, this book was written for you - for your aspirations and your fears, for your curiosities and your vision, and for your commitment to educate, inspire, and serve the myriad learners who look to you and your institutions to light the way.
"Collectively, we need to affirm our belief in the power of education to change people's lives." - Dr. Marvin Krislov, President, Pace University
Through the eyes of 100+ college and university presidents, learn how to:- Embrace a new leadership skill set to change your college and your career

The Future of Higher Education Is Here
"I know that brighter days lie ahead. I absolutely know they lie ahead, but they will only lie ahead if we work together." - Dr. Chris Roellke, President, Stetson University
Commencement: The Beginning of a New Era in Higher Education is a thoughtful and practical review of academia today, presented through the words and experiences of 100+ college and university presidents. From online learning to affordability and access, from diversity and inclusion to leadership styles, no major theme goes unexplored.
"The only thing that truly gives you resilience is education." - Dr. Irma Beccera, President, Marymount University
