On the Back Porch Talking Higher Education

Our podcast is a forum to discuss small, private liberal arts colleges and the communities they serve. The practices, tools, and assumptions of big institutions don't always work well at small scale. Rather than mimic what large universities do, we explore how small schools flourish by approaching higher education in ways that honor their distinctive nature.

The show is produced for faculty, administrators, policy makers, and influencers in post-secondary education. If you are a leader in higher education, or if you care about a small college, this podcast series offers ideas to help small colleges and their communities thrive.
