| Abstract | With the rising costs of participating in higher education; uncertain economies buffeted by technological, structural, and political forces; and shifting perceptions of the usefulness of credentials once obtained, the purpose of college has become a popular topic for everything from sound bites and screeds to serious studies. In our contemporary global society, technology keeps information in our awareness and at our fingertips nonstop--allowing millions of people, regardless of their individual roles, to hear about higher education and the issues it faces, including debates about its costs and its value. These factors will continue to challenge educators and their organizations in two important ways: they will need to maintain constant attention to their missions, and, at the same time, will need to engage in proactive messaging while exercising restraint in reacting to the news cycle. The ongoing changes affecting higher education's mission to educate for student success include several fundamental aspects which are presented and discussed in this article. The changes can be viewed as ways in which colleges are moving away from the reductionist dimensions of higher education that arose in the twentieth century to handle expanded access to college to an emphasis on acquiring more of the higher-order skills and abilities necessary for students' health and well-being in life and work in the twenty-first century.
