Author of three New York Times best sellers, Jeff’s latest book is Who Gets In & Why: A Year Inside College Admissions, which takes readers on a journey through the selection process from inside three admissions offices, revealing what really matters to the gatekeepers and how the ultimate decision is often based on a college’s priorities.
As both an observer of higher education and an insider with an academic appointment at Arizona State University, one of the largest universities in the country, Jeff occupies a unique position to explain the intersection between work, life, and learning. He writes regularly for The Atlantic, the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal. Additionally, he writes a bi-weekly newsletter on all things higher ed called Next, and co-hosts the podcast, FutureU.
