What Works at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs):
Nine Strategies for Increasing Retention and Graduation Rates will
have broad appeal within the field of education and beyond. While
the primary audience for this book is the faculty, staff,
administrators, students, alumni, and campus community of the
current 105 HBCUs in the United States, this book is written to
appeal to all professionals in the field of higher education,
guidance counselors and administrators in P-12 education,
sociologists and social scientists, and scholars who study change
management, outcomes assessment, and success in any organized
structure or system.
Despite the Great Recession and looming "student loan debt crisis",
college education remains the most proven, invaluable lifetime
investment and serves as the most reliable path to upward mobility
and socioeconomic class reassignment. Mfume suggests that "the
value added" of even one year of college can be transformative. As
higher education professionals and partners continue to advocate
for new and improved college retention and graduation measures, The
College Completion Glass-Half-Full or Half-Empty? Exploring the
Value of Postsecondary Education presents a new paradigm for higher
education, one that focuses on "the value added" of postsecondary
education as well as on student success beyond the traditional
measure of college graduation rates, a model which merges
conventional practices and supports for students with
non-traditional partnerships with, and advocacy from, successful
non-completers.
