Linking Theory to Practice
Organized into two major sections -- setting the stage for case study and the case studies themselves -- this book is intended for use with other materials for student affairs preparation courses. It links student affairs knowledge with practicality, enabling student personnel to project themselves into different situations and gain an understanding of how they might perform. Case study analysis is also used as a means to bring realism face-to-face with theory. Presented in these case studies are the settings, characters, facts, and statement of events -- for both short- and long-term issues -- which may be faced by student personnel professionals.
