This book shows how student development theory informs a wide range of campus activities relating to the support and intellectual nurturing of students. The book targets lower-level student service practitioners in particular, and faculty and staff professionals, rather than those who have substantial academic grounding in theory and research.
Foundations of Student Affairs Practice is an essential resource that explores the purposes of higher education, the theories that provide a foundation for student learning and growth, and the experiences that contribute to student learning. Florence Hamrick, Nancy Evans, and John Schuh- three preeminent leaders in the field- show how student affairs professionals can provide a more meaningful and holistic educational experience for their students.
