Description

The heartfelt (Shelf Awareness) story of how Georgia State University tore up the rulebook for educating lower-income students Published to wide acclaim, Won t Lose This Dream is the illuminating (Times Literary Supplement) story of a public university that has blazed an extraordinary trail for lower-income and first-generation students in downtown Atlanta, the birthplace of the civil rights movement. A powerful story of institutional transformation (bestselling author Beverly Daniel Tatum), Won t Lose This Dream shows how Georgia State University has upended the conventional wisdom about low-income students by harnessing the power of big data to identify and remove obstacles that previously stopped them from graduating–an earthshaking achievement that is reverberating across every college campus today. Drawing on extensive on-the-ground reporting (Kirkus Reviews), Andrew Gumbel delivers a thrilling, blow-by-blow account of visionary leaders who overcame fierce resistance, and the remarkable students whose resilience and determination inspired the work at every stage. Their success shows how the promise of social advancement through talent and hard work, the essence of the American dream, can be rekindled even in an age of deep inequalities and divisive politics. A superb work for anyone interested in higher education (Library Journal), Won t Lose This Dream lays out a persuasive vision for reform (Publishers Weekly) and a concrete vision of higher ed that works for all Americans.
