PHENND Book Club: Community-Centric Path to Rebuilding Trust in Higher Ed

For those of you who attended the PHENND Conference and saw Byron White speak, his book is finally out. Let's read it!
About this Event

From Campus Compact:

This new book by Byron P. White reimagines community engagement as an essential operational driver for sustaining universities and offers a bold alternative to the customer-focused strategies many colleges seek to regain stability.

Across eight chapters informed by interviews with higher education leaders, examination of emerging frameworks, and compelling profiles of exemplary institutions, White showcases innovative principles and practices that advance strategic priorities and foster community-focused structures. Tailored for higher education leaders, community engagement practitioners, and scholars, this volume makes a compelling case for integrating public impact with organizational transformation.


Since this is the first PHENND Book Club, I'm leaving ample time to read it -- all summer long!

I'm also fine with an online discussion or in-person at the PHENND office (or elsewhere). Hoping a summer Friday will be less busy. If you're interested but not sure of the date or format, sign up anyway and I will poll the registrants about those details. If successful, we can make this a regular thing and choose a new selection. Perhaps with the cadence of once a quarter...
