This book does an excellent job of laying out the major issues that face students as they move through the community college and of thoughtfully assessing the state of evidence on noteworthy solutions that are being offered to address these issues. The discussions of retention, developmental education, occupational education, transfer, and organizational change are sophisticated and yet very clear. Vanessa Morest brings a unique combination of skills and experiences to the analysis of the community college as both a well-established researcher and a senior administrator at a community college. This book is very solidly grounded both in research and theory and in concrete experience.
