This is a book for any student affairs professional who wants to
strategically shape his or her career path; it may be particularly
helpful for people in early or mid-career, or contemplating a
career, in student affairs. By engagingly offering us the fruits of
the reflective and strategic approach she has used to shape her own
career, and of the theoretical and practical approaches she has
undertaken to map out the culture and dynamics of student affairs;
and by gathering the voices of twenty five professionals who offer
the insights and advice derived from their own experiences, Sonja
Ardoin has created a guide for everyone in student affairs who
wants to be intentional in setting the course for their
professional and personal development. She begins by describing the
changing and varied student populations who are the heart of this
field, and outlines the typical organisational structures of
student affairs, the range of functional areas, and how practice
varies by size and type of institution. She highlights major
trends, discusses the typical paths of entry to the profession, the
expectations and realities of starting in a new position, the
process of socialisation, and the required skills and competencies.
She devotes the core of the book to the five key elements for
developing a career strategy: Lifelong Learning, Extending Your
Experiences, Planning for Professional Development,
Networking/Connecting, and Self-Reflection, and provides advice on
the job search, from application through interview. In doing so she
ranges over choices to be made about formal qualifications, and
describes activities - from volunteering and committee work to
conference presentations, writing and teaching - that we can use to
strategically develop the proficiencies to attain our goals.
