Why read it?
1 author picked Successful Fund Raising for Higher Education as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
When you enter higher administration, you need a vision and you need the people and resources to realize that vision.
Most books for chairpersons and deans are about vision and about hiring and mentoring faculty and staff, but how to garner resources is perhaps the area that is addressed the least. I found this book helpful as an initial guide.
Basically, it offers a comprehensive account of academic fundraising, with practical advice and detailed examples from academic leaders and senior development professionals. The introduction and first two chapters provide a superb introduction for persons new to academic fundraising.
From Mark's list on faculty who find themselves in administration.
