Ten years after the publication of Transforming a College, Elon University continues to thrive as a school that reinvented itself and its community around the idea of inspiring and guiding students. George Kellers now-classic account has been used as an inspiration and playbook for many other institutions. Available for the first time in paperback, this edition coincides with Elons 125th anniversary. A new foreword and afterword from Elon president Leo M. Lambert tell the rest of the story of the universitys ambitious agenda to position Elon as a top-ranked liberal arts university and a national leader in engaged teaching and learning.
