Paul Hudson, D.Mgt., professor of business, is the author of the new book, “Maximize Achievement – Academic Readiness Guide to College Completion and Graduation,” published by Dog Ear Publishing. The book, currently available at the LLCC Bookstore, amazon.com and BN.com, is designed as a resource for high school, college undergraduate and graduate students; faculty and educational administrators; learning centers and college success skills support systems. Dr. Hudson says he has spent the last eight years observing and recording what keeps students energized and motivated to graduate and succeed. He calls the book an academic “blueprint” that will lead, guide and motivate students toward their goal of academic success.
