MPCC President offers insights to the next President of the United States.
"If the next President of the United States were to ask for thoughts on higher education in America, what could or should be said?" That was the charge given to Dr. Michael Chipps, president of Mid-Plains Community College, located in west-central and southwest Nebraska. "Rural Community Colleges-Building Communities and Advantaging Regions" was Dr. Chipps' contribution to the book and framed his thoughts from a rural community college president's perspective. His letter was added to the other messages in a new book edited by Trachtenberg and Kauvar entitled, "Letters to the Next President-Strengthening America's Foundation in Higher Education." An 'e-book' version of the "Letters To The Next President," may be found at the Korn-Ferry website at http://www.kornferry.com/Publication/9150.
