Men of Autumn
The Men of Autumn concerns the lives, challenges and aspirations of men during the second half of life. Building on more than 45 years of experience as an educator, leader, consultant and coaching, Bergquist explores such issues as mature generativity, the changing relationship with women and other men, and new forms of community leadership. At the heart of the book is a journey of transformation involving both soul and spirit. Guiding this journey and this book is Goethe's poem, The Erl King, which offers a profound articulation of the complex and evolving relationship between a father. his son and the threatening yet enticing presence of a mythic king.
Engaging the Six Cultures of the Academy

Two new cultures are now emerging in the academic institution as a result of these global, external forces: the virtual culture, prompted by the technological and social forces that have emerged over the past twenty years, and the tangible culture, which values its roots, community, and physical location and has only recently been evident as a separate culture partly in response to emergence of the virtual culture. These two cultures interact with the previous four, creating new dynamics.

Quality Through Access, Access with Quality
In this book, William H. Bergquist draws on thirty years of experience in both traditional and nontraditional colleges and universities to take a provocative look at the often tense interplay between the objectives of quality and access in American higher education. Quality without access, Bergquist argues, is untenable in light of today's diverse student populations, just as access without quality is sham education. Bergquist begins by showing how traditional definitions of quality, which tend to reflect the world of four-year residential colleges and universities, fail to embrace the realities of today's commuter students, returning adults, and multicultural populations. Using the example ...
