Forget about “if it’s Sunday, it’s Meet the Press.” For the next month, it should be “if it’s Tuesday, it must be a new book on higher ed.”
The summer always provides time for a respite to read—and this summer in particular is one where hopefully we’re all taking off a bit more time to relax and catch-up with family and friends. I’m taking off more time than usual, which is why this newsletter is being delivered to your in-box less frequently until September.
If you’re into non-fiction, have kids in the college search or going off to college, or work in and around campuses, this is the month for books about higher ed.
I’ve read four of the seven books listed below. I’ll be writing a lot more about many of them in the coming months.
First, a few announcements…
🖥 NEXT on LinkedIn Live returns in two weeks. Join me as I interview newsmakers, authors, admissions deans, and people in higher ed.

📢 College admissions group. My friends at Grown & Flown have started a paid membership group for parents navigating the college admissions process. It offers live sessions with experts and a community of parents to help answer your questions about getting in and paying for college.
🗓 Events. My fall and winter calendar is filling up with virtual and in-person book talks and workshops for high school parent groups and college counselors interested in professional development related to my
book, as well as college leaders and trustees interested in the
future of higher education after the pandemic.
