Best Practices is an online journal devoted to exploring the ways and means by which today's two-year college professionals deal with the concerns facing higher education. Each issue focuses on a special topic such as preparing students for the college experience, creative revenue generation in a budget-strained environment, and the online education experience.

In Best Practices we publish texts written specifically for distribution via the Internet. These texts include essays examining the “big” and “little” picture issues of higher education, conversations and interviews with experts in the field, and reviews of books of interest to the higher education community.

Too often in academia we sequester ourselves in our own insular worlds and can forget the gains to be made by connecting with our peers. Best Practices is an attempt to break us all out of those cocoons and encourage the dialogue necessary for continued growth and innovation.

We hope you like what you find in Best Practices and, just as importantly, will consider submitting your own work for future issues.
