The multiple crises of 2020-21 have presented both challenges and opportunities for change in four-year residential colleges and universities. Evidence indicates that the historic structure of administrative and student services is increasingly mismatched to the needs of a diverse and stressed student body born in a digital age. Inspired by his leadership in a university-wide initiative that focused on how students' interactions with both academic and professional staff affect their success and well-being, Scott A. Bass presents fresh insights on the inner workings of traditional nonprofit four-year degree residential institutions. The book describes the influences of history, tradition, and internal and external pressures on the American university, highlighting its evolution to its staid and fragmented structure; it distills voices of students, faculty, and staff; and it explores how successful organizations outside of higher education deliver services, with potential applicability for the academy's ability to meet students where they are.

'The book focuses on a critical area of challenge in American higher education – the effectiveness of university service systems, and the relationship between systems and the levels of academic success and student well-being. University leaders, scholars, and policymakers will find it helpful as we navigate the post-pandemic world in higher education.' Freeman Hrabowski, III, President of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County
