Graduate school is a time of growth and change for many people and as such, also an important time to reflect.

End The Debate Now: Accreditation For International Student Recruiting Agencies, Lisa Jacobson

MAGIS: Student Development Journal

The author of this article proposes that the U.S. should introduce an accreditation system for re- cruiting agencies modeled after the system for accrediting institutions of higher education. The author concludes that this accreditation system would promote the best interests of international students and also benefit U.S. colleges by main- taining the use …

The Forgotten Identity: How Institutions Of Higher Education Can Support Students In Faith Identity Development, Christina Shapland

MAGIS: Student Development Journal

This study considers the role student affairs prac- titioners play in the faith identity development of students.
