Demetri L. Morgan, Ph.D.
The apolitical nature of the civic engagement movement poses challenges to our
democracy (Saltmarsh & Hartley, 2011). The co-curricular experience is well positioned to
address this phenomenon but little research exists to inform practice. This qualitative study
uncovers how the socialization of senior student affairs officers (SSAO) influences
approaches to student civic/political development. Implications for practice and future
research are presented based on the findings from the study.
