The growing political and social divide in the United States continues to impact campus communities. Issues like freedom of speech, racism, sexual misconduct, and hazing can quickly create deep philosophical divides. While those working in student affairs who have had unique academic training related to the holistic development of all students should be professionally equipped to effectively navigate these situations, it can be a daunting and personally challenging endeavor. Their goal is to be highly effective at finding healing solutions for the campus communities they lead by engaging their theoretical training, coupled with empathy and authentic leadership.
