Change It!

Change It! Create a Career Centered College Culture is the battle cry of everyone that wants to see the college culture reboot and focus on the outcomes students and parents expect after investing a king's ransom for their education. Author Don Philabaum shares dozens of ideas and strategies that individually, or collectively, will align students, parents, faculty, administrators, alumni, and business leaders around the number one reason students are going to college - to better their chances of launching a successful career. Philabaum details how colleges can get all constituents on campus to work together to create a career centered college campus and supports the ideas with facts, stats, and proven strategies. At a time when higher education is under assault by cheaper delivery systems, demands of parents and students, pressure from hiring authorities, and imposing regulations by governmental agencies, Philabaum suggests that colleges that adopt a career centered college culture will see an increase in enrollment, the retention rate, the graduation rate, and most importantly, grads with jobs! Change It! can be used by college administrators as a workbook to develop a comprehensive campus wide strategy. Change It! gives a loud, and collective voice to career center professionals who have championed these recommendations for decades. Change It! is a timely and relevant book that can be used by anyone on campus who wants to realign the campus culture to focus on what the client wants - jobs!
