Описание: Higher education in the United States and elsewhere is being forced to respond to several disparate social and economic pressures: social trust and connectedness is down, empathy across citizens is deteriorating, political awareness and participation are low, and job prospects and financial security are sobering for many citizens, even the college educated. The response to these pressures is not to double down on one mission of higher education, namely job creation. Instead, higher education marching into the next decades requires an integrative approach that promotes job creation, skill development, citizen cultivation, and knowledge dissemination--all oriented towards strengthening communities and providing opportunity for all citizens to pursue the good life. Across eight chapters, this book provides historical and theoretical analyses of the role of higher education in society across these four missions, as well as applied mini and extended case examples demonstrating how the four missions can be successfully integrated. The extended cases consist of one pedagogy example, a teaching initiative labeled "joined up service learning" that represents deep partnership between the university and community, and an institutional design case of an academic research center and its work conducted in partnership with community stakeholders. Recommendations are advanced for an integrated approach to performance funding of higher education institutions, tenure and promotion expectations for faculty, and graduation requirements for students, among others.

A Practical Introduction to Communication for Community College and Beyond provides community college students with a highly relatable and applied exploration of communication. Students gain a solid understanding of the process of communication and how to apply it to everyday situations.
This book is broken into three sections. Section 1 discusses the process of communication, including tools that influence behavior, how to become a better listener, and different types of non-verbal practices. Section 2 dives into relationships and intercultural communication. It addresses Uncertainty Reduction Theory and the Moken People, who have, historically, had limited contact with the outside world, but now, with increasing accessibility to communication, must navigate the line between traditional and contemporary modes of communication. Section 3 delves into how professional and public communication go hand-in-hand, including tips for networking, understanding and working in groups, and preparing presentations. The text includes skills assessments, personal accounts, and best practices to help students understand and apply various communication strategies.
The second edition features real-life scenarios that demonstrate the power and potential consequences of social media and additional coverage on difficult conversations, face-to-face communication, and practical application strategies within each chapter.
A Practical Introduction to Communication for Community College and Beyond is ideal for undergraduate courses in human communication, public relations, and introduction to communication studies.
