Leadership in Times of Crisis

In an effort to assist the president in addressing and navigating the challenge of a major campus crisis, the publication includes solid advice throughout. As with most good advice, many of the principles in the Leadership in Times of Crisis publication are broadly applicable to others, not just the president, as they work to manage the whirlwind of a campus crisis.
