Recenzii
“For decades, the phrase “theory to practice” has encouraged educators to apply their learning beyond the classroom. Scholars have proposed various models and perspectives to bridge this gap, yet today’s sociopolitical landscape demands a more robust understanding of what it truly means to enact theory. More than ever, we must take intentional, collective action to promote student growth and success—and recognize that student development extends well beyond the boundaries of student affairs. College student Development Theory in Action is a timely and essential resource. It equips college professionals with tools to grasp theory’s relevance and translate it into meaningful practice. From vice presidents to counselors, from athletic trainers to financial aid staff, this book provides a practical framework for applying theory across campus roles.”
From the Foreword by Lori D. Patton, Professor and Faculty Director, University of California, Los Angeles, USA
“Few texts manage to bridge theory and practice as effectively as College Student Development Theory in Action: A Guiding Framework for Higher Education. Building upon and extending prior works, this volume makes student development theory both academically accessible and practically usable. Each chapter begins with realistic cases, reviews classic theories while expanding discussion of contemporary frameworks, and concludes with “theory translation” and processing questions. This structure makes the text engaging and relevant for student affairs educators. I look forward to using this volume as a valuable resource for practitioners, like me, committed to advancing student learning and success.”
Heather D. Shea, Past President, ACPA–College Student Educators International (2023-2024), Director, Undergraduate Pathways Persistence Programs, Michigan State University, USA.
“College Student Development Theory in Action is exactly what scholars and practitioners invested in higher education have needed. During a period when the value of higher education continues to come under attack, the authors of this text reaffirm the longstanding roles that college environments can play in students' developmental journeys, especially when designed with equity and justice in mind. Readers are sure to benefit from the in-depth, yet practical and accessible writing found within these pages.”
Antonio Duran, Associate Professor, Arizona State University, USA
“College Student Development in Action is more than a book—it is a call to action. By bridging theory and practice, the SDTiA framework empowers educators to meet students where they are while preparing them for the world they will shape. The authors invite us to reflect on our positionality, embrace complexity, and design equity-minded approaches that honor the lived experiences of all students. This text is both inspiring and practical, offering a roadmap for creating learning environments rooted in justice, belonging, and transformative student development.”
Jonathan A. McElderry, President, ACPA - College Student Educators International (2025-2026), Dean of Student Inclusive Excellence and Assistant Professor, Elon University, USA
“Despite student development theory being a low-consensus field, these authors have forwarded a vitally important framework for how educators can engage with theory building and use. The College Student Development Theory in Action framework will stand out as an exemplary tool for future generations of postsecondary educators, and one which I look forward to teaching, sharing, and using in my own work. Hat’s off to the authors for this incredible contribution!”
Z Nicolazzo, Professor, University of Arizona, USA
“Practical, responsive, and forward-looking, College Student Development in Action (SDTiA) equips educators with tools to apply theory directly to the classroom and campus. Its framework emphasizes reflection, equity, and adaptability, ensuring that student development theories meet the needs of today’s diverse learners. This book is an invitation to engage student development as a living, evolving body of knowledge that responds to the complexities of higher education’s present and future and in doing so, it reminds us that theory and practice must evolve together to support meaningful student success.”
