Antioch University Dissertations & Theses
This comparative case study defined and examined the presidential arc at three small, private colleges in the Northeast.

The presidential arc, a concept introduced in this study, is defined as a comprehensive and integrative examination of: each individual presidency, or, at institutions with a history of short-term presidents who left little impact on, groups of presidencies; the level of success of each presidency, as determined by a definition …
