Dreams, Nightmares and Pursuing the Passion : Personal Perspective on College and University Leaders

Dreams, Nightmares and Pursuing the Passion: Personal Perspectives on College and University Leadership is written by Dr. Shannon E. Ellis. Ellis is a former NASPA President and is currently the Vice President for Student Services at University of Nevada-Reno. Based upon Ellis' personal journal, this book chronicles her triumphs and challenges during her first year as an SSAO. Ellis speaks candidly, and with much humility and wit, as we follow her journey to become a successful vice president. She provides valuable leadership, management, and professional development advice and offers a unique "behind the scenes" look at the work of all student affairs administrators.
