The old academic joke goes this’d be a great place to work if it weren’t for the students. Not that funny really since colleges would not exist if it were not for the students. Students are their lifeblood. They are what the school is all about and why it exists. Yet, student affairs, the area of a college dedicated to students, often receives the least amount of attention of all the areas of campus.

This important collection of essays of how an excellent student affairs program works to make the college experience an exceptional one provides the first ever comprehensive report and model of how student affairs can be done and should be done to enhance the college-going experience and retention.

Northern Florida University is an exemplary student affairs program covering all student matters from the academic and student affairs divide through to every aspect and office of student affairs on a college campus. The 24 chapters elucidate and exemplify what a robust student affairs program is and can do to help students and their colleges have fuller and more satisfying collegiate careers and beyond.
