In the context of this course student affairs is defined as those programs, services, and activities designed to recruit, retain, support, and develop students in college. This course concentrates on the leadership roles within student affairs in higher education institutions across the United States. Leaders in student affairs are regularly challenged to respond to the current and emerging needs of students, as well as to expectations from various stakeholders: faculty, boards of trustees, alumni, community members, and the government, as to the priorities for the student experience in higher education.

This course is designed to provide students with an overview of student affairs as an entity from both an historical and contemporary lens; introduce students to the literature in the field and examine various theoretical frameworks related to the student experience in higher education; strengthen understanding of the standards that guide student affairs practice; and explore leadership theories and practices to apply to the review of the critical student affairs issues and strengthen student understanding of their own leadership styles in preparation for possible careers in higher education.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
