Small Colleges take a more Active Role in Communities they Serve

Governing is featuring a post by Aaron M. Renn, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, offering comments on a trend where small colleges are taking a more active role in the communities where they reside. Renn's article, "Can a Small College Save Its Small Town?" includes references to Franklin College in Indiana and to a recent Wall Street Journal article by Douglas Belkin that focused on a number of initiatives at Albion College in Michigan, Ripon College in Wisconsin, and several other small colleges.

Small higher education institutions will be the primary focus of the Small College Garden. It will also highlight small college towns.

There is a Small College Garden group for those who would like to join discussion and share information through Facebook.

I will typically be posting links to newspaper articles and other information on institutions with fewer than 2,500 students or college towns with populations less than 25,000. I look forward to receiving your comments, suggestions or links to relevant resources!!

I maintain several blogs as a hobby and encourage you to check out the College History Garden for posts on colleges that have closed, merged, or changed names.
