"The skill set of a leader has changed. We haven’t been given any more time or money, but the expectation to stay ahead of the curve has dramatically changed the way we 'do business.' Thankfully, through the use of several social media tools, Sanfelippo and Sinanis show practical ways administrators can meet the demands of our role with ease."
“Joe and Tony do a masterful job of personalizing this innovative work. You can tell this work is their vocation, not just a job. Their writing has been quickly absorbed by doctoral students, faculty and alumni here at @MCDPEL.”
