Inspired by the 2012 University of Minnesota collaboratively authored eBook (http://purl.umn.edu/125273) on how technology is Cultivating Change in the Academy, this eBook features twenty-two stories describing how the Art of Hosting Conversations that Matter is impacting significant grassroots shifts in teaching, research and outreach across the University.
