At the heart of the Student Affairs practice is the student and his/her well-being

and development. Using a theoretical foundation, practitioners must strive to

support students’ development as future professionals and people, encourage an

appreciation of a life-long liberal education, and challenge them to become

responsible citizens in our interconnected global community. In addition,

Student Affairs administrators should always be adaptable and flexible to meet

the fluid needs of our ever-changing world and student populations. Through

role modeling a creative, enthusiastic, and committed approach to their

profession, practitioners can more effectively motivate students to find their

passions in education, careers, and life.
