Synopsis

Although student affairs practitioners play a key role in student learning, few are familiar with learning theories, the design of experiential education, or pedagogical theory. This edited collection describes programs in which student affairs professionals work independently or in collaboration with academic faculty and community partners to create more intentional and consistent approaches that enhance student learning. Examples, models, and case studies throughout the chapters make the theories and ideas specific and practical. Exploring educational opportunities in and outside the classroom, such as peer education, leadership development, life and career planning, civic engagement, service-learning, and study abroad, this book provides both theories and pedagogical frameworks for organizing and integrating the entire institution to promote and support learning. Drawing on multiple perspectives, Learning Everywhere on Campus shares the interventions and strategies necessary to help students learn new information, acquire skills, and understand the value of this knowledge in constructing their sense of purpose and self in the world.

Review:

"This book is a well-constructed examination of the many contexts in which student affairs professionals work and the diverse settings through which opportunities to perform as co-curricular educators are presented. Through vignettes and examples, the authors provide guidance for how student affairs professionals, no matter one’s role, can apply more intentional design to learning experiences and, in the process, elevate the success of their work."

―from the Foreword by Larry D. Roper, Professor, School of Language, Culture and Society,

Oregon State University, USA

"Learning Everywhere on Campus primes practitioners to own the role of educator by showing how to confidently engage faculty colleagues and one another in conversations about the pedagogy of student affairs. This book demonstrates how to cherish and go beyond "teachable moments" to apply the skills of effective teaching in every aspect of your work and in every encounter with students."

―Gwendolyn Dungy, NASPA Executive Director Emeritus, USA
