Understand the times. Respond faithfully.Higher education stands at a crossroads. However, there is a way forward that recognizes our current realities while also embracing the possibilities of what higher education could and should be. In this volume, Jensen and Visser have brought together a collaboration of diverse voices from among those devoted to the endeavor of Christian higher education—voices that enrich the conversation surrounding the lives of current and future students. Offering a professional, robust vision of human flourishing, Reimagining the Student Experience invites educators, administrators, chaplains, and university professionals to think deeply and faithfully about their journey with students, from their arrival on campus to their pursuit of faithful living.Foreword by David S.
