Abstract:Few studies have been conducted on the use of the ACPA/NASPA Competencies (2015) in graduate preparation programs. To understand the use of these competencies in graduate preparation programs in student affairs, two case studies of two graduate preparation programs at public institutions in the South were conducted. Interviews with graduate program coordinators and focus groups with graduate students and graduate assistantship supervisors identified areas of improvement, including increasing connection with practitioners.

Abstract:The play The Niceties by Eleanor Burgess explores exchanges between white faculty member, Janine, and Black undergraduate, Zoe. The play touches on race, power, privilege, history, truth, identity, and (in)equity in higher education. Burgess uses this exchange to show how the intersectional identities of the characters influence their experiences in this specific course and in higher education more broadly. The play engages, provokes, and provides readers with enduring questions about how the individual voice is heard (or not) in higher education.

Abstract:Although the transition to adulthood after graduation can be difficult for any student, additional challenges remain for independent students. The authors define independent students as undergraduates between the ages of 18 and 24 who have no dependency on a parent or guardian, such as foster care alumni. It is important that higher education professionals examine the experiences of independent students and their post-university transitions. To that end, the authors present existing research surrounding the post-university transition in general, the independent college student population specifically, and the unique challenges this group faces in the post-university transition. A conceptual adaptation to Erikson’s psychosocial development theory is used as a launching point to present an alternative path of development for independent students, which may better inform strategies to support this group through the post-university transition. Practical recommendations are explored for institutions wishing to better support independent students for and through the post-university transition, as well as a call for further research to test the validity of the presented conceptual model.

Abstract:This qualitative narrative inquiry examined the professional preparation of sorority and fraternity (SFL) professionals working with culturally-based sororities and fraternities. Using narratives drawn from 15 professionals and guided by our conceptual framework, we unpacked important findings in terms of ways participants referenced their limited educational experiences, how they navigated learning within the confines of their professional roles, and distinctions in the value that professional associations and networks offered them. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Abstract:This qualitative study explored the supervision practices of graduate assistant supervisors at two large research institutions. Six themes emerged as best practices: graduate assistant supervisors took a student-centered approach, provided thorough training, cultivated a learning-focused experience, established effective communication, built strong relationships with the supervised students, and reflected upon and invested in their own supervision style and supervisory experience in order to practice a situational approach.

Abstract:Even though Black Male Initiative (BMI) programs have found ways to positively influence the academic and psychosocial outcomes of Black men attending Predominantly White Institutions (PWI), Black college men remain at high risk for psychological distress. Current research addressing the need for BMI programs to incorporate wellness and mental health considerations in their work with Black male students is lacking. With attention to student well-being growing on college campuses, BMIs are challenged to develop more holistic programming to raise awareness of the importance of wellness in the Black male college experience. Attention is given to Hettler’s six-dimension wellness model, and recommendations are made for integrating it into BMI programs.

Abstract:Commuter students face a number of challenges, yet how they influence the experience of those who join sororities and fraternities is unknown. The purpose of this study is to explore those challenges, the strategies participants used to overcome them, and how policies and practices influenced their experience through interviews with eight alumni of historically White sororities and fraternities (HWSFs) that attended primarily commuter institutions. The findings suggest the participants in this study had many “typical” challenges associated with commuting, employed a variety of strategies to overcome those challenges, and were affected by chapter and national organization policies and practices over those at the campus level.

Abstract:The CAS Standards are commonly used in undergraduate-facing student affairs practice but rarely discussed in legal education. This study explores law student affairs professionals’ awareness and use of the CAS Standards, finding a significant divergence from the rest of the field and suggesting that (in the current era of increased scrutiny) law student affairs may be a functional area ripe for greater engagement with these strong assessment and benchmarking tools.

Abstract:Higher education provides a transformative experience for students, allowing the opportunity for continuous change and the development of skills needed to grow independently and interdependently with students around them. Similarly, higher education equips students with the tools to continue changing and flourishing after graduation. For many higher education institutions, residential life departments are tasked with the responsibility of fostering the holistic development of students living on-campus. Residential life departments provide transformational experiences for students, including the role of developing college friendships. Yet, when considering the traditionally held benefits of on-campus student housing, ambiguity exists among higher education administrators and researchers regarding the permanence and long-lasting impact of these friendships after a student leaves the institution.This study explored the structural and programmatic impact of on-campus housing at liberal arts colleges on the transition of student friendships into long term meaningful relationships post-graduation. Moreover, this study utilized a qualitative research approach to explore how the campus environment influenced long-term, meaningful relationships. Strange and Banning’s (2015) campus ecology framework was used as the primary theoretical lens to understand the influences of physical, organizational, human aggregate, and constructed campus environments.

Abstract:Vice Presidents of Student Affairs (VPSAs) lead in a context nuanced around race that conflicts with their duty to enact the student affairs profession’s espoused values of social justice and inclusion. This paper summarizes findings from a critical qualitative case study conducted with 10 VPSAs from a diverse group of institutions located in the southeastern region of the U.S. The findings reveal how VPSAs straddle the line between prioritizing student success for students of color and serving their historically exclusive institutions.
