Adele Scheele, a widely published career strategist, has created a roadmap designed to inspire students to use their time wisely, to help their parents become better coaches to their children, and to empower college faculty and administrators to become more active mentors.

For those students,...

This book explores the many ways in which the obsession with -being smart- distorts the life of a typical college or university, and how this obsession leads to a higher education that shortchanges the majority of students, and by extension, our society's need for an educated population.
The author calls on his colleagues in higher education to return the focus to the true mission of developing the potential of each student: However -smart- they are when they get to college, both the student and the college should be able to show what they learned while there.
