A Time for Boldness: A Story of Institutional Change
(2002)
Abstract
A Time for Boldness presents the story of how an urban research university is redefining what it means to be an engaged university. Through a challenging process that involved both campus and community, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has launched major initiatives and set a new direction for faculty, students, and staff.
This book is a report from those most involved in this process about what such broad-based change requires and what it can produce. It examines the how, why, and what—what happened, what worked (and what didn't), and what was learned about change in higher education.
Using a wide range of sources—quotations from the authors, newspaper clippings, essays by participants, interviews, first-person reflections by key leadership, as well as narration—this book tells a rich story of institutional change.
