Industry Reviews

"Letters to Students: What It Means to Be a College Graduate takes a fresh approach to advising current undergraduates, recent graduates, and their families about the personal goals that can be achieved through a successfully completed undergraduate experience. Bogner and Scott have almost fifty years of combined experience as successful and accomplished higher education leaders and they are well worth listening to regarding their observation that 'a college degree is, at the most fundamental level, about becoming your best self, becoming much more than a person who does a particular job.'"
