About The Press It is a turbulent time for publishing, with the physical nature of books changing, and an unprecedented concentration of our activities and resources consumed by computer-based activities. We see this challenge as an opportunity. Our mission is clear: to publish compelling, useful, and reasonably priced books in a variety of formats that will appeal to engaged readers both within the Excelsior community and the larger community of book readers. It is our belief that these books will act as a positive force in peoples’ lives while supporting and furthering the academic mission of the College.
Hudson Whitman will have a traditional mind-set in terms of what we acquire: high-quality, well-written books that appeal to our market. However, our support systems will be more agile: we will be using some of the newest companies and technologies to accomplish our tasks. For example, we will utilize PublishGreen to distribute our e-books widely in both US and overseas markets, and Submittable to streamline our acquisitions procedure. If the industry shifts or offers something new that will improve our processes, then we plan to take advantage of it. Thank you for visiting Hudson-Whitman. If you use social media, we'll see you on Facebook and Twitter. If not, then bookmark us, or visit again. Susan Petrie, Managing Director,

Our first book of 2011, Courageous Learning: Finding a New Path through Higher Education, looks at adult education in America. Featuring inspirational, autobiographical portraits of Excelsior graduates, as well as profiles of non-profit, adult-serving institutions, Courageous Learning offers a clear navigational system for adults who want to complete their postsecondary degree. It is available both as a paperback (with CD-ROM) and as an e-book.
