Join the 6th annual summer system book club! This system-wide book club is co-sponsored by the Office for the Vice President for Academic Strategy and the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa library.
This year’s book selection is Hacking College: Why the Major Doesn't Matter-And What Really Does by Ned Scott Laff, and Scott Carlson (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2025). From the Amazon description:
College is a complex, high-stakes game, according to authors Ned Scott Laff and Scott Carlson, but students can learn how to win it. Hacking College offers college advisors, faculty, and staff in student and academic affairs a groundbreaking guide to rethinking higher education so that students can succeed in an increasingly complex world. Drawing from extensive research and real student experiences, this essential book exposes the hidden challenges and bureaucratic traps that undermine student success, from convoluted transfer processes to a single-minded emphasis on majors.
