For some, college can be thought of biologically:
Students make up the body, and administration is the head.
Without professors, directors and managers, students would not have the opportunity to make the most of their college experience, and their educational investments would be a waste.
Colleges need administrators and industry experts that are heavy weights in higher education, from experience, expertise and knowledge to displaying openness to new technologies, pedagogy trends and readiness to tackle challenges head on.
The best administrators and industry experts learn from past mistakes, champion current strategies and anticipate what lies on the horizon for their institutions.
