Time for Boldness A Story of Institutional Change

Many institutions have tried to increase their community service by extending community partnerships through a university center or division of outreach. The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM), however, is one of the few to address engagement on an institutional level-across all schools and colleges. Through a challenging process that involved both campus and community, UWM launched major initiatives and set a new direction for faculty, students, and staff. A Time for Boldness is a report "from the front lines" about what such broad-based change requires and what it can produce. The book examines the how, the why, and the what-what happened, what worked (and what didn't), and what was learned about change in higher education. The experiences of "The Milwaukee Idea" can provide knowledge useful to other institutions and change leaders who are interested in community-university engagement.Zimpher, Nancy L. is the author of 'Time for Boldness A Story of Institutional Change' with ISBN 9781882982547 and ISBN 1882982541.
