Implications of Student Spirituality for Student Affairs Practice

In the past few years, there has been a surge of interest in the spiritual development of college students, and in connecting spirituality and organizational change. In the past, student affairs organizations and higher education programs have been reluctant to address spirituality as connected to student development or to the programs and services on a college campus. This issue of New Directions for Student Services provides student affairs professionals and others on college campuses with information and guidance about including spirituality in student life programs and in the curriculum of preparation programs. Contributors explore the role that faith and spirit play in individual and group development on our campuses. Models of leadership, staff development, and graduate education itself are all examined from the context of spirituality. This is the 95th issue of the Jossey-Bass higher education series New Directions for Student Services.Jablonski, Margaret A. is the author of 'Implications of Student Spirituality for Student Affairs Practice' with ISBN 9780787957872 and ISBN 0787957879.
