Excellent Author and Writer,

This review is from: Global Intentions Local Results: How Colleges Can Create International Communities (Paperback)
Having known the eloquent Bill Kiehl for some time now, this book confirms his breadth of knowledge of collegiate education and its contemporary challenges and opportunities. Bill confirms his depth and wisdom in how the "flat world" is integrating colleges and universities worldwide; yet affirms that we are best served to think globally but act locally to bring success in our unified pursuit of educational opportunity for all and to thus achieve academic excellence on the campus. A MUST-READ for educators with worldwide vision. Jim Scherrer

Bringing the World to Small Town America,
By Francis P "Francis P" (Northeast USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Global Intentions Local Results: How Colleges Can Create International Communities (Paperback)
I just received my copy of this book a few days ago and I gave it a quick read. I was delighted with the book and the ideas it suggested about how even small colleges in out of the way places can have a profound effect on everyday life. It is amazing how much potential there is to bring the world to small town America through the very things that every institution of higher learning already does to improve the knowledge base and experience of their students and increase their visibility and marketability. I am familiar with one of the colleges studied and the author is right on the mark about that school and the town surrounding it. I very much liked the way he used the interviews with college staff and townspeople to present the cases and tell the stories of the colleges and the communities. You can really picture these people and their communities. This has to be must-reading for college administrators who want to bring internationalization forward on their campuses and also want to engage with their communities. I hope this is just the first in a series of books on this subject which seems to have been overlooked so far.

This review is from: Global Intentions Local Results: How Colleges Can Create International Communities (Kindle Edition)
For those who already own a Kindle or are planning to acquire one, this is an excellent first book or early book to read on the device. It has large easy read type and thus is very easy reading on an electronic device. The book in Kindle format is just as interesting and valuable as the Trade Paperback version of the book but is one-half the price of the paperback.
