High-quality leadership in higher education is critical to overall
student engagement, persistence, and graduation outcomes. With
higher education institutions pushing for more Black enrollment and
methods to retain current students, it is essential that
institutions reflect the Black academics they serve. In addition,
there is a shortage of Black department heads, deans, and provosts
to make important decisions about the matriculation of students
towards graduation. It is essential that higher education
institutions take what they have learned from those who have been
in academic leadership roles and develop new strategies to recruit,
mentor, and retain high-quality Black academic leaders that reflect
the students they will serve. The Future of Black Leadership in
Higher Education: Firsthand Experiences and Global Impact provides
experiences, narratives, and best practices that are more inclusive
of Black faculty by providing them the opportunity to seek
advancement in these critical roles. It presents critical knowledge
about academic leadership for Black people and familiarizes readers
with policies, practices, and procedures. Covering topics such as
predominantly white institutions, second-career Black women, and
Black professorates, this premier reference source is a dynamic
resource for faculty and administrators of higher education,
students of higher education, librarians, researchers, and
academicians.

This volume examines STEM education, preparation, and career
exploration--and the role of career and technical education (CTE)
in preparing individuals for the STEM workforce. Highlighting
avenues for success and exemplary practices, the volume covers
topics such as: 1) Incorporating experiential learning activities
for students in CTE-STEM programs, 2) Providing avenues and
effective strategies for closing the skills gap for students in
CTE-STEM through funding and evaluation and assessment activities,
3) Highlighting the experiences of women in CTE-STEM related
programs, and 4) Implications for policy and practice. This is the
178th volume of this Jossey-Bass quarterly report series. Essential
to the professional libraries of presidents, vice presidents,
deans, and other leaders in today's open-door institutions, New
Directions for Community Colleges provides expert guidance in
meeting the challenges of their distinctive and expanding
educational mission.
In an effort to create a more educated workforce in the United
States, many community colleges are implementing new practices and
strategies to assist under-prepared students. These efforts will
ultimately support a stronger and more resilient global workforce.
Examining the Impact of Community Colleges on the Global Workforce
provides relevant theoretical and conceptual frameworks, best
practices, and emerging empirical research about new approaches
being employed in community colleges to prepare students for their
post-collegiate careers. Featuring recent initiatives in
educational settings, this publication is a critical reference
source for higher education practitioners, policymakers, and
graduate students in higher education administration programs
interested in the innovative practices utilized by community
colleges to educate underserved students.
