Description
Collaboration allows organizations to leverage scarce resources,
reduce costs, link complementary competencies, and increase speed
and flexibility-but collaboration can also deeply affect the
internal structure, management style, identity, and mission of
participating institutions as they learn to coordinate their
collective resources. This volume of New Directions for
Community Colleges examines the many ways collaboration both
benefits and alters the participating organizations, offering
practical examples and lessons learned that can be used by a
variety of institutions in their efforts to foster collaborative
relationships. The authors explore how the community college can
serve as a nexus between high schools and four-year institutions;
how neighborhood-based collaborations can promote access and
educational opportunity for at-risk students; how to integrate
collaboration into the leadership role of the community college
president; and much more.
This is the 103rd issue of the quarterly journal New
Directions for Community Colleges.
