Faculty Learning Communities: Change Agents For Transforming Institutions Into Learning Organizations, Milton D. Cox
Faculty Learning Communities: Change Agents For Transforming Institutions Into Learning Organizations, Milton D. Cox
To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development
In my 20 years of faculty development, I have found faculty learning communities to be the most effective programs for achieving faculty learning and development. In addition, these communities build communication across disciplines, increase faculty interest in teaching and learning, initiate excursions into the scholarship of teaching, and foster civic responsibility. They provide a multifaceted, flexible, and holistic approach to faculty development. They change individuals, and, over time, they change institutional culture. Faculty learning communities and their “graduates” are change agents who can enable an institution to become a learning organization. In this article I introduce faculty learning communities and …
Getting Administrative Support For Your Project, Joan K. Middendorf
Getting Administrative Support For Your Project, Joan K. Middendorf
To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development
For faculry development professionals to succeed with projects, we need the help of key administrators. More than anyone else, they can link our efforts to campus priorities, help us understand the decision-making system, and facilitate our efforts. This essay describes six steps for gaining and maintaining administrative support for projects. The steps entail 1) knowing administrator needs, 2) identifying likely supporters, 3) maintaining good working relationships, 4) involving the sponsors, 5) evaluating the sponsors’ commitment, and 6) recognizing the support of sponsors. Collaboration with administrators and application of the stages is illustrated with a case study of Indiana University’s Freshman …

Understanding Student Allies On Campus, John P. Sauter Jr.
Understanding Student Allies On Campus, John P. Sauter Jr.
The Vermont Connection
This paper explores the current gap of research on student allies. Specifically it looks at the definitions associated with being an ally and the difficulties in identifying such students on college campuses. It examines both ally action and developmental models. These models not only illustrate general progressions of development, but are also a springboard for examining the issues facing allies. The paper highlights the roles of student allies on campus and how student affairs professionals and faculty can support and challenge such students.
White Privilege And Its Influence On The College Campus, Darcy L. Lemaire
White Privilege And Its Influence On The College Campus, Darcy L. Lemaire
The Vermont Connection
The article explores the topic of White privilege from the author’s perspective as a White, Catholic, middle-class, rural Southern Vermont woman. White privilege affects every aspect of the college campus, from academics to residence life. Within the context of this understanding, White student affairs professionals can better understand the reality of White privilege, including the loss to Whites that results from its prevalence in society and on our campuses, and work to combat racism more successfully.
Under-Developed And Over-Involved: Unpacking Hidden Realities In Student Leadership Development, Chris Mcgrath
Under-Developed And Over-Involved: Unpacking Hidden Realities In Student Leadership Development, Chris Mcgrath
The Vermont Connection
While studies show that curricular and co-curricular involvement positively impact student development (Astin, 1993; Kuh, Schuh, Whitt, Andreas, Lyons, Strange, Krehbiel & MacKay, 1991), student affairs professionals must grow increasingly cognizant of the potentially negative effects of over-involvement on the college experience. This qualitative study explores the impact of co-curricular over-involvement on student development, and how professionals create meaning when faced with the challenge of over-involvement.
Legacy Student Development: The Costs And Benefits Of Privilege, Jason A. Zelesky
Legacy Student Development: The Costs And Benefits Of Privilege, Jason A. Zelesky
The Vermont Connection
Despite the recent movement within higher education to eliminate preferential admission based on race, gender, and socio-economic status, colleges and universities continue to endorse the controversial practice of admitting legacy students at a significantly higher rate than any other segment of the applicant pool, especially students of color. The debate over the continuation of this practice has college officials, incoming legacies, contributing alumni, and the concerned public arguing about the legitimacy of such an elite route of access. Often ignored in this process is the personal development of the legacy student who is tightly affixed between a rock (the alma …

The Role Of Student Affairs Professionals Within Intercollegiate Athletics Administration, Joslyn P. Diramio
The Role Of Student Affairs Professionals Within Intercollegiate Athletics Administration, Joslyn P. Diramio
The Vermont Connection
This paper explores the connection between student affairs practice and the administration of intercollegiate athletics. Student-athletes are a special population of students with unique developmental needs. As experts in student development, student affairs professionals can provide an invaluable service to student-athletes as advocates of learning and personal development. By examining the founding documents of the student affairs profession and the principles of good practice in student affairs, recommendations are made for the integration of student affairs professionals into university athletics departments.

Native American College Students: A Population That Can No Longer Be Ignored, Deanne H. Maxwell
Native American College Students: A Population That Can No Longer Be Ignored, Deanne H. Maxwell
The Vermont Connection
Native Americans have the highest college drop out rate of any ethnic minority (Reddy, 1993). This paper addresses the unique challenges that Native American college students face, including suppressing familial and spiritual beliefs, having financial disadvantages, coping with existing stereotypes, receiving insufficient secondary education, and finding no one on campus with whom to identify. According to Brown and Robinson Kurpius (1997), “A common element of successful Native American drop out prevention programs is that at least one adult establishes a relationship of trust with each youth” (p. 5). In the spirit of the above-mentioned quote, this paper also addresses the …

Doogie Howser, M.D., Ph.D., Ed.D.: The Myths And Realities Of Gifted Students In Higher Education, Rosemary J. Perez
The Vermont Connection
This paper seeks to examine gifted student development, specifically regarding academic acceleration. The author will use published literature, observations from the field, and personal communication to: (a) characterize gifted students, (b) address the myths and realities of gifted student development, (c) examine the intersections of identity for gifted students, and (d) examine the interactions between gifted students and student affair professionals. Despite the ageist attitudes of many constituencies within higher education and concerns regarding their development, gifted students are found to be well-adjusted, successful individuals with comparable experiences to those of traditional college-age students.

Negotiating The Politics Of Race Through Moral Cross-Cultural Conversation, Jacob L. Diaz
Negotiating The Politics Of Race Through Moral Cross-Cultural Conversation, Jacob L. Diaz
The Vermont Connection
Discussions about race/ethnicity are an important aspect of diversity on college campuses. This paper explores the social construct of race in the United States and the various barriers that arise when individuals engage in dialogue about this issue. I explore the tenets of the Moral Conversation and argue that this will aid us in deconstructing racial/ethnic borders and the politics of race in order to create a more socially just campus environment.
Purpose In Life, Student Development, And Well-Being: Recommendations For Student Affairs Practitioners, Christy D. Moran
Purpose In Life, Student Development, And Well-Being: Recommendations For Student Affairs Practitioners, Christy D. Moran
Christy Moran Craft
To supplement student development research, the author reviews clinical psychological research on the concept of purpose in life. This review is presented to provide impli- cations and recommendations for practice in the higher education setting. By not only encouraging students to identify a purpose in life but also assisting them in this process, student affairs practitioners may positively influ- ence their personal development and well-being.
