In addressing the unique issues related to the delivery of student
services in the community college setting, this book fills a
longstanding need to provide practitioners with a contextual
framework for their work. Starting by providing the historical
context to the development of student affairs in community
colleges, this handbook describes the organization of key functions
and current practice, and looks at the specific constraints,
opportunities, changes and future challenges that practitioners
face. Community colleges are grappling with: the realities of
shrinking resources; an increasingly diverse and disparate student
body, with many attending part-time; demands for greater
accountability; a generational change in leadership; and pressures
to expand their missions as well as adopt educational technology -
all of which have an impact on the role of student affairs. Among
the topics covered are: Partnering with Academic Affairs; Financing
Student Affairs; Legal and Policy Issues; Strategic Planning and
Assessment; Accreditation and Accountability; Technology for
Communication and Engagement; Academic Support Services; Student
Life and Student Engagement Programs and Services; Enrollment
Management; and Services for Special Populations. This handbook is
intended for student affairs administrators and professionals at
all stages of their careers, as well as for students in graduate
preparation programs.
