Over the past 19 years, Economic Modeling Specialists International (Emsi) has responded to the demand for credible and affordable economic impact studies by completing over 2000 such studies for colleges in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. The book chronicles the lessons learned over this time period and highlights what an economic impact study is, is not, what the results mean, and why they are important. It also discusses how presidents and governing boards can leverage the impact results to address other issues they deal with on a daily basis. Few college presidents are fully aware of this opportunity, however, and thus do not fully exploit the richness of the study. A strong case is also made that the college leadership should play a much stronger leadership roles in regional economic development of their region in addition to their roles as advocates for their colleges only.

Questions whether, and how, community colleges confront the challenges of diversity and provide real opportunities for upward mobility.Community colleges are positioned to play a critical role in the process of upward mobility in American society. Yet despite the “open door” accessibility of these institutions, the question remains as to whether or not community colleges enhance the social mobility of working class and minority students.The contradictory and often paradoxical nature of research on community colleges suggests that making generalizations about the sector as a whole is perhaps misguided. This book takes an important step toward developing a more nuanced understanding of the rich and varied cultures inherent in community colleges. The contributors approach this task by examining community colleges as “cultural texts,” using critical qualitative frameworks to address the question of whether, and how, community colleges confront the challenges of diversity and provide real opportunities for upward mobility.[Contributors include Marilyn Amey, Eusebio Diaz, Stanford T. Goto, Berta Vigil Laden, Dennis McGrath, Laura I. Rendón, Robert A. Rhoads, Kathleen M. Shaw, Armando Trujillo, James R. Valadez, and Bill Van Buskirk.]

Since its establishment in 1959, Broward Community College continues to strive for excellence in education. In August 1960, the doors of the Junior College of Broward County were opened to 701 students served by 28 faculty members. Classes were offered in buildings that were formerly part of the Fort Lauderdale Naval Air Station on the grounds of what is presently Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport. Now more than 40 years later, BCC remains the principal provider of undergraduate higher education. BCC attracts a diverse student body, provides a curriculum responsive to needs of the community and changes in technology, and is now one of the largest community colleges in the state and nation. Images in Broward Community College highlight the school's creation, expansion, and continued growth. Black-and-white photographs showcase the students-among them well-known graduates like Maryland's governor Parris Glendening and novelist Rita Mae Brown; the presidents who have led the college over the years; faculty and staff members; organizations; teams; and events that make BCC what it is today.
