The recent trend of trying to measure higher education's return on
investment misses a fundamental point, argue Charity Johansson and
Peter Felten. The central purpose of a college or university is to
transform the lives of students-not to merely change them or help
them mature. This transformation is an ongoing process of
intentionally aligning one's behavior with one's core sense of
personal identity. It is the university's central role to lead
students in this transformation, a process that shapes students
into intentional, critical, and engaged individuals. Recognizing
the remarkable influence of the college experience on peoples'
lives, the authors offer a guide to how colleges and universities
can effectively lead students through this life-changing process.
Drawn from extensive interviews with students and graduates,
faculty and staff, Transforming Students gathers diverse stories to
show how students experience the transformation process, which
rarely follows a neat or linear path. The interviews illustrate
central themes from the literature on transformative learning and
the undergraduate student experience. A sequel of sorts to George
Keller's classic Transforming a College - which chronicled Elon
University's metamorphosis from struggling college to a top
regional university- Transforming Students addresses the school's
core educational mission: to shape students into engaged adults who
embrace learning as a lifelong endeavor. Given this effect, the
college experience is much more than preparation for a career. It
is preparation for life.
