  "One of the ten best higher education books of 2025.” – Forbes 
  In this educational leadership book, consultant and speaker Elliot Felix challenges college and university administration to focus and differentiate their institution, break down silos, and work better together to enable college student success. 
  "An indispensable management guide for university leaders who want to better support their students through cutting-edge best practices." —Timothy Renick, Executive Director, National Institute for Student Success at Georgia State University 
  Too many of today's colleges and universities are defined by their separations: teaching and research, student affairs and academic affairs, courses and careers, academia and industry, online and on-campus. The list goes on. 
  But demographic shifts, technological breakthroughs, economic upheaval, and new ways of learning and working mean that higher education must change. Instead of separations, we need connected colleges where all students feel a sense of belonging, courses lead to rewarding careers, students have the support to succeed, and faculty, staff, and administration work together to make this happen. 
  In this strategic planning book for higher education leaders, you will learn to get comfortable with disrupting higher education. Bust silos internally. Forge partnerships externally. Make bold decisions. See differentiation as destiny, not demographics. Get as good at sunsetting programs and services as you are at starting them. 
  Drawing from Elliot Felix's background in design innovation and experience working with more than one hundred colleges and universities, this management and leadership book for college administrators will challenge leaders with breakthrough ideas, inspiring success stories, and practical tactics. 
  The Connected College is your encouraging, evidence-based playbook for busting silos so they can succeed.

  Dick Bong: The Life and Legacy...

  Editors Charles River

  During World War II, greatly increased engine power allowed these aircraft to slice through the sky at speeds of 200 miles per hour (mph), 300 mph, or even in excess of 400 mph when flying flat-out. Service ceilings jumped to 30,000 feet, altitudes unthinkable to World War I’s aviators.  
  pilots had to adapt to countless technological improvements, and a select few truly mastered the art of dogfighting during history’s deadliest war. In the United States, the top ace came from almost literally out of nowhere. Richard “Dick” Ira Bong was born on September 24, 1920 in Superior, Wisconsin on the westernmost tip of Lake Superior, the son of Swedish immigrants. America was a very popular destination for Swedes seeking a new life during the early 20th century, and many Swedes headed for Wisconsin, with the greatest number arriving between 1880 and 1900. Dick’s father Carl, arrived in America at the age of eight, and he eventually married Dora Bryce, of Scottish-English descent. When Dick was born, they were living on a farm in the very small town of Poplar, in Douglas County, Wisconsin. Even in the 21st century, it is still diminutive, with a population of around 600.  
  	Dick’s first memorable encounter with an aircraft was as a child playing in and around the farm, and in the summer of 1928, when Dick was seven, President Calvin Coolidge had a summer holiday residence at Cedar Island Lodge on the Brule River by Brule, another very small town a few miles east of Poplar, down the Route 2 highway that is now known as the “Major Richard I. Bong Memorial Highway.” Most days a small silver Navy biplane filled the role of a mail plane responsible for delivering and receiving presidential correspondence, and it would fly over the Bong farmstead. This touched off a lifelong fascination that would lead to Bong shooting down 40 enemy planes in the Pacific Theater during the war, making him the country’s top ace before he had even reached the age of 25.

  Longpath - Becoming the Great...

  ""An antidote to nearsightedness. Ari Wallach won’t just leave you planning months or years ahead—he challenges you to look generations ahead. Get ready to think and think again."" — Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLife 
  A paradigm-shifting manifesto for transforming our thinking from reactionary short-termism to the long-term, widening our scope beyond today, tomorrow, and to even five hundred years from now to reclaim meaning in our lives. 
  Many of the problems we face today, from climate change to work anxiety, are the result of short-term thinking. We are constantly bombarded by notifications and “Breaking News” that are overwhelming our central nervous systems, forcing us to react in the moment and ultimately disconnecting us from what truly matters. But there is a solution. 
  Futurist Ari Wallach offers a radical new way forward called “longpath,” a mantra and mindset to help us focus on the long view. Drawing on history, theology, neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and social technologies, Longpath teaches readers to strengthen their ability to look ahead, relieve reactions to stressful events, increase capacity for cooperation, and even boost creativity. Wallach challenges readers to ask themselves, “to what end?”—what is my ultimate goal and how does my choice align with my values? And even more provocatively, Wallach challenges readers to ask “to what end?” for civilization at large. 
  Whether it’s work, marriage, parenting, or simply trying to be a good human on the planet, framing decisions from a much larger scale creates a more fulfilling and sustainable life now and for future generations.  
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
