Book excerpt: While there is an extensive body of evidence about the importance of engagement with faculty for undergraduate students, there is a dearth of scholarly attention to the experiences of graduate and professional students. This edited book examines current and future changes to U.S. college and university environments and the ways in which these shifts affect student-faculty interactions and engagement with graduate students. This volume highlights the distinct ways in which graduate students interact with faculty through research opportunities, advising, collaborations, teaching, mentoring, and socialization. This book also offers practical implications and recommendations for higher education faculty, student and academic affairs staff, faculty development professionals, and leaders for fostering effectual student-faculty experiences in graduate education.

Book excerpt: This volume identifies the needs of graduate and professional students (a demographic historically underepresented by student affairs professionals) and advises how student services professionals help these students address their needs. Traditionally, the psychological aspects of the graduate and professional student experience have fell on academic departments or the graduate college. An increasing number of student services professionals, however, are now including the graduate and professional student under their umbrella of service. This volume is a response to the demand from these professionals for more research based information and advice addressing the needs of these graduate and professional students.

Book excerpt: Student affairs professionals are increasingly being called upon to become scholar practitioners, to reflect on and share their experiences to further the knowledge of the field, and to disseminate practices to promote student learning and development. This book offers practical guidance to anyone in the field interested in presenting at conferences or publishing in scholarly and professional journals, and sets the work of scholarly practice in the context of its vital role of influencing and shaping the future of student affairs, and in promoting continuous learning.The authors demystify the processes of producing research and scholarly work; address motivation and barriers such as time-constraints or confidence; and provide advice on developing ideas, writing, getting feedback, staying on task, identifying the appropriate outlets and venues for ideas, submitting proposals, as well as on speaking and presentation skills. It also directs readers to books and online resources and presents the reflections of senior student affairs officers on scholarship in the profession. As the authors state, student affairs professionals are often in the best position to test the myths about what really works for college students to have access, persist, and graduate. Through their daily interactions with students they develop the grounding for theories and strategies to improve the college experience, none of which can be advanced without scholarship, without presenting and writing, and the debate that they stimulate.This book is intended for student affairs professionals at all levels. It sets the context for those starting their careers as they navigate and understand their new roles; aims to inspire mid-level professionals to present or write about their experiences and contributions; and offers senior administrators strategies to pursue their own scholarship while creating a supportive environment for their staff to do so, and develop their agency and professional growth in the process.

Featuring vignettes and experiences from actual graduate students, Thriving in Graduate School sheds light on common—but hidden—truths to help students manage the many challenges they will face and even thrive during their graduate school years.
