Introduction to Section One

Abstract

Institutions of higher and tertiary education are routinely recognized for their development of human capital to foster critical discoveries and applications of knowledge that grow industries, jobs, and other stabilizers of international and national economies and productive environments. In the time between the conference proceedings that first prompted the conversations presented in this book and our present-day economic circumstances that dwindle the coffers for individual as well as global economies daily, tertiary education has undergone some important transformations.
