America's community colleges are experiencing the most creative and substantive period of transformation in their 118-year history. There has never been so much research, so much support from foundations, and so much commitment from national leaders to reimagine community colleges for today and for the future.13 Ideas that Are Transforming the Community College World, edited by Terry U. O'Banion, is the seminal work that captures the major ideas faced by community college leaders in this period of transformation. The book includes 23 authors representing 12 national organizations, perhaps the most significant and substantive list of individuals ever to participate in an edited book on the community college. Each author is a nationally-recognized authority on his or her chapter, and all have played major roles as leaders of national organizations.
Terry O’Banion has worked in the community college field for 55 years as one of the leading spokespersons on leadership, innovation, learning, and student success. President of the League for Innovation for 23 years, O’Banion has written 16 books and over 200 articles, consulted in over 1,000 community colleges, and has been recognized by five national awards established in his name.
