A good education changes what you know, while a great education changes who you are. This paper makes the case and provides a call to action to higher education that it now needs to embrace the responsibility for shaping the mindset of graduates in addition to providing knowledge and skills. |

| Dear Rick, as always, an extremely thoughtful paper. I hope you don’t mind but I have shared it with David Greene who is in his third year as Colby’s President. He is just as smart, creative and entrepreneurial as you. You’d like each other.
-- Bill Cotter Dear Rick, I read your latest white paper with interest and agree on the importance of mindset. I would like to share an observation based on my years in industry: mindset is shaped by (and adapts to) the environment. I believe that a discussion of mindset is meaningful only in the context of the environment in which it has to operate… Rick, I just read your newest white paper. As usual, it is both informative and inspiring. Thanks for all you do to transform the way we think about education. With deep appreciation! |
