This session examines critical issues pertinent to today’s work of serving college students and the professionals who support them. Join Jackie Clark and Jeannette Smith, editors of NASPA's new book Student Affairs Professional Preparation, as they review how the book can be used both in practice and in the classroom. There will also be presentations on three key chapters: Dena Kniess and Kristin Walker-Donnelly will discuss approaches to assessment, research, and evaluation; Karen Francis-Begay and Mary Jo Tippeconnic Fox will discuss tribal colleges as an institution type; and Pamela Peter and Dawn Johnson will explore student activism and protest.
