Keim's The Education of Character is an excellent book to give as a gift for college students, especially first year students. Keim discusses some of the issues college students will face-- such as alcohol, multiculturalism, and finances. He also summarizes the key points of each chapter at the end, allowing people easy reference should they wish to refer back. I strongly recommend this book.

As a college student I was introduced to this book during my first year, and I can say that it has really given me some insight as to what type of person I wanted to become. My favorite quote in the book is that "everyone is a Freshman at something". Now that I am a manager, I am making this required reading for all new employees coming on to my staff. The lessons that Will Keim addresses need to be revisited time and time again for all people, since we are all "Freshmen" every day of our lives.

Dr. Keim uses humor and common sense to cover many topics that college-bound students might encounter. A great graduation gift for a high-school grad!!!
