Summary: Liberal Learning Equals Lasting Learning
Comment: The liberal arts tradition in higher education receives strong support - even (especially!) as far as workplace success is concerned - from Marcia Mentkowski and associates in this comprehensive book about the ways in which learning, development, and performance can interact in certain institutional settings to prepare college students for "the real world." Based on longitudinal studies of students at Alverno College in Milwaukee, among other institutions, Learning That Lasts demonstrates how colleges with a focus can make a significantly positive difference in their graduates' contributions to the work they do and the lives they lead as democratic citizens. Although the theoretical models and thorough research on which the book is based may make it difficult to follow for some audiences, that same attention to detail is what provides a strong, replicable basis for other institutions to follow. And skillful editing and the use of diagrams and summaries make this a book that many concerned parents and students - in addition to the faculty and administrators at whom it is aimed - will find intriguing.
