Jeffrey R. Docking

Jeffrey R. Docking (GRS’96) of Adrian, Mich., published Crisis in Higher Education: A Plan to Save Small Liberal Arts Colleges in America (Michigan State University Press, 2015). As president of Adrian College since 2005, Jeffrey has used a strategic business model to double enrollment, expanding academic and cocurricular programs, facilities, and housing to attract students. He shares that model in his book, along with lessons to help other struggling private colleges meet economic challenges while providing a high-quality liberal arts education.
