In this important volume, the authors focus on the connections
between academic learning and student affairs. Beginning with the
premise that academic learning is a critical part of the overall
personal development of each student, the authors show how student
affairs professionals can work in harmony with their academic
colleagues to create a campus milieu that is truly conducive to
that development. Such a milieu would offer a rich array of social,
athletic, academic, and artistic events, all of which would enrich,
enhance, and give deeper meaning to the learning that occurs in the
classroom. With its emphasis upon partnership building and
interdisciplinary collaboration, this work will be extremely useful
to student affairs professionals, college administrators, and
faculty members as they work together to design courses and
programs that will optimize student learning. Co-published with
American College Personnel Association.
