Full Description
Higher education in the United States is facing a critical juncture. Tuition costs are rising, while measures of success are declining. Students struggle to meet the most basic academic requirements, barely passing their courses, while others battle physical and mental health difficulties that profoundly impact their ability to do well in college. This book responds to these challenges, offering a holistic collection of practices to guide those working with emerging adults in higher education.
Beginning with an introduction to the developmental period of emerging adulthood, the volume examines how the social and emotional development of emerging adults is relevant to struggles and successes in higher education. Subsequent chapters focus on how technology has impacted on learning and communication for today's students and how faculty and staff can best work with students through meaningful relationships. Consisting of chapters from experts in a variety of disciplines, the volume provides faculty, administrators, and staff with the knowledge and skills needed to help today's students succeed.
