Dissertations
The purpose of this ethnographic case study was to explore the culture of succession planning and leader development at Lipscomb University, using the 5C’s: Strategies for succession planning in the academy model.

It holds promise for increasing both student interest and diversity in the race to strengthen the STEM …
