All to One Another : The University at Home and in the World

This book presents visionary perspectives on the changing roles of teaching, research, and outreach in higher education during our trying times. ""All to One Another"" collects some of the most compelling recent articles and speeches of Andrew A.

Sorensen, twenty-seventh president of the University of South Carolina, on the evolving place of institutions of higher learning at the local and global levels as good stewards of existing resources and as entrepreneurial innovators.

Informed by the varied experiences of his distinguished career as a university educator and administrator, Sorensen stresses in this concise volume the importance of building partnerships both on and off campus to foster the vitality of the university; of pursuing new avenues in diversity, technology, and research to secure the investments of a dynamic base of constituents; and of effectively managing the interconnected responsibilities needed more than ever by university leaders.The specific subjects and occasions of these pieces vary greatly - as do the duties and audiences of a modern university president - but these statements are unified by a common vision of empowering hope for our future in the yet-unfulfilled potential of teaching, research, and outreach of higher education.
