Description: Originally published in 1980, the first edition of Student Services was a ground breaking book, providing the first comprehensive overview of student services in higher education. Now, this third edition of "the green book" that has guided student affairs graduate education and practice for the last fifteen years provides an updated look at every aspect of the field. Student Services examines the changing context of the student experience in higher education, the evolution of the role of student affairs professionals, and the ethics and philosophies that guide the practice of student affairs work. It includes new chapters on the nature and use of theory, cognition and learning, and identity development. It also presents the latest thinking on the competencies needed for effective practice - including leadership, teaching, counseling, mediation, consultation, advising, program development, research and assessment, and how to work with a diverse, multicultural population.
