Student Affairs Practice in Higher Education is written to serve two audiences: students enrolled in graduate preparation programs who seek to understand the broad nature of student affairs and the specialized arenas in which its practice occurs, and the group of experienced professionals who desire a reference book that describes the trends and patterns that have shaped practice methods and program models. For both groups, a description of contemporary and future issues of importance to student affairs is also provided. This new edition also includes a brief history of student affairs, a broader discussion of shifting philosophical perspectives, and an attempt to convey the meaning and significance of multicultural affairs and multiculturalism. Additional topics include enrollment management, academic advising, career services, counseling, discipline and judicial affairs, orientation, residence halls, student activities, financial aid, and student health. This comprehensive revision provides a more substantial and cohesive text that allows the reader to more clearly grasp the nature and importance of significant issues and changes within the evolution of student affairs and its practice. - from Amzon
