The many different collaborative programs highlighted in this volume are innovative, efficient, and successful. They could be duplicated by other institutions working together with the goal of enhancing access to higher education. The chapter authors have years of experience in operating in a cooperative setting, and their expertise has greatly improved the work of their individual consortium. Working in a cooperative setting gives institutions the ability to meet the demands of access while sharing their resources. This volume can serve as an effective guide to institutions seeking to widen their efforts to provide greater access.
This is the 138th volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series New Directions for Higher Education.
