Serving the New Majority Student
Rowman & Littlefield (Verlag)

Much of higher education was originally designed to meet the needs of full time 18-22 year-old students who enter directly from high school. However, the New Majority of our students are older, likely to swirl among institutions, and have significant adult responsibilities outside of the classroom. The New Majority Student: Working from Within to Transform Higher Education is a call to transform colleges and universities to meet the academic and student experience needs of New Majority students and for adult educators to become advocates, allies, and resources for needed reforms. Book contributors, including faculty, staff and administrators at public, private and community colleges, provide insights for this transformation. The book utilizes a business perspective to academic transformation, providing a guide to how universities can redefine and restructure their education product to meet student needs. Taking a Human Centered Design approach, the contributors provide frameworks and examples of how institutions can reallocate technology, effort (internal, external, student, faculty) and finances to reimagine programs and ensure long term institutional health.
Dr. Eric Malm is an Associate Professor of Economics and Business Management and Chair of the Business Department at Cabrini University in Radnor PA. As a faculty member and administrator, Dr. Marguerite Weber has more than 30 years of experience designing, implementing and assessing student success systems at universities and community colleges.
