Rural community colleges

Sixty percent of American community colleges are located in rural areas, but urban colleges garner more publicity because of their larger enrollments. Rural institutions, however, play a significant role in their communities; they are often among the largest employers in the region, the single provider of low-cost post-secondary education, and the most significant provider of tools for economic development and cultural events.... This edition identifies issues rural leaders will likely encounter on their campuses and provides a set of tools and strategies to address those issues -- from cover.
