The Professional Student Affairs Administrator - Educator, Leader, and Manager (Hardcover)

Styled as a complete update to Miller & Winston's 1991 book, Administration and Leadership in Student Affairs, this book addresses issues of critical importance to today's student affairs professional. Grounded in human development, learning, leadership, group dynamics, management theories, and current social science research and evaluation methods, this book articulates the means for college student affairs administrators to function in the forefront of student learning and personal development initiatives.
The book focuses on the three essential roles played by student affairs administrators: as educators who play a significant role in addressing the academic goals of their institutions, as leaders who help to shape the vision of their institution's student affairs practice and education mission, and as managers who are responsible for coordinating programs and services, supervising staff, and overseeing university facilities and budgets. In their treatment of the diverse roles student affairs professionals must play in the current academic environment, the editors give voice to their view that they have an educational mission that is best accomplished through a partnership between student affairs and academic affairs which focuses on the individual student. The book is organised into five parts, each focusing on both the management of college environments and the administrative processes which effect student learning. In addition, it addresses such cutting-edge concerns as:
* student affairs in a multicultural world
* advancing technology and student affairs practice
* legal and ethical issues in student affairs.
The Professional Student Affairs Administrator is a comprehensive textbook for Masters and doctoral level students in college student affairs administration preparation courses, as well as a valuable reference guide for both beginning and seasoned professionals alike.
