Books by Patrick Sullivan

This book provides scholars, educators, and legislators with a personal, classroom-level tour of daily life at a community college. By mission and mandate, the modern community college has democratized America's system of higher education and distributed hope, equity, and opportunity more broadly across the nation.

This book aims to deepen public understanding of the community college and to challenge our longstanding reliance on a deficit model for defining this important, powerful, and transformative institution.
