Tia Brown McNair will engage the Stetson University community in a conversation raised in a recently published book she co-authored, Becoming a Student-Ready College<\/a>*<\/em>. The national conversation asking “Are students college-ready?” concentrates on numerous factors that are beyond higher education’s control. This book flips the college readiness conversation to provide a new perspective on creating institutional value and facilitating student success. Instead of focusing on student preparedness for college (or lack thereof), this book asks the more pragmatic question of what are colleges and universities doing to prepare for the students who are entering their institutions? What must change in an institution\u2019s policies, practices, and culture in order to be student-ready?<\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Dr. Tia Brown McNair<\/a> currently serves as Vice President in the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Student Success at the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U). Dr. McNair oversees both funded projects and AAC&U\u2019s continuing programs on equity, inclusive excellence, high-impact educational practices, and student success, including AAC&U\u2019s Network for Academic Renewal series of yearly working conferences.\u00a0Read Dr. McNair’s complete bio on the AAC&U website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
