Educating the Whole Student: The Growing Academic Importance of Student Affairs
Sandeen, Arthur
Change, v36 n3 p28 May-Jun 2004
Professors, department chairs, and deans no longer are the sole sources of the learning experiences that undergraduate students benefit from on our campuses. Recent years have seen the growth or expansion of a wide variety of out-of-the classroom supplements to classroom education, including learning communities, "theme" housing beyond the traditional language-focused settings, service learning, leadership-development programs, and peer-related education. Central to many of the new learning venues that have blossomed over the past decade or two are student affairs professionals.
