Book Reviews & Endorsements

“Beyond the Western Wall is a must-read and fascinating book that offers a master class in how a skilled, focused, visionary and determined president led the transformation of a small liberal arts HBCU to make it one of the top performing colleges in America. Henry Tisdale demonstrates how he, with his supportive life partner, his late wife Alice Carson Tisdale, by his side, was on a mission to change the trajectory of what was then Claflin College —making it one of the most prestigious universities in the nation today.  

 

Given the challenges many universities have of attracting the right presidential fit to an institution, this book is a case study for governing boards, faculty, alumni, donors, and supporters of how to get it right. 

 

The book is exceedingly well-written and is replete with keen insights on what it takes to be an effective university president while encountering and managing numerous challenges along the way. I recommend it unequivocally!”
