In the second edition of this influential book, leading scholars Kathleen Manning, Jillian Kinzie, and John H. Schuh advocate an original approach by presenting 11 models of student affairs practice, including both traditional and innovative programs.

This book is a must read for all higher education administrators and student affairs professionals.

  • End-of-chapter discussion questions to guide thinking about ways to incorporate models in one’s own context,
