Dear Service-Learning Colleagues,

Announcing a new book you may be interested in:

A Time for Boldness: A Story of Institutional Change

Nancy L. Zimpher, Stephen L. Percy, & Mary Jane Brukardt
Foreword by Katharine C. Lyall

A Time for Boldness presents the story of how an urban research university
is redefining what it means to be an engaged university. Through a
challenging process that involved both campus and community, the
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has launched major initiatives and set a
new direction for faculty, students, and staff.

This book is a report from those most involved in this process about what
such broad-based change requires and what it can produce. It examines the
how, why, and whatwhat happened, what worked (and what didnt), and what
was learned about change in higher education.

Using a wide range of sources - quotations from the authors, newspaper
clippings, essays by participants, interviews, first-person reflections by
key leadership, as well as narration - this book tells a rich story of
institutional change.

Highlights include:
- A detailed look at the visioning process that helped the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee create major community-university initiatives
- 10 observations on what it takes to implement university-wide change
around engagement

Nancy L. Zimpher is Chancellor and Stephen L. Percy is Director,
The Center for Urban Initiatives and Research, and Chancellor's Deputy for
The Milwaukee Idea, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Mary Jane Brukardt is writer and consultant to higher education.
