Full Description
As higher education contexts change, with shifts in student demographics, additional emphasis on institutional accountability, and new classroom and program modalities, faculty continue to play an important role in fostering student success through their interactions with students. Fostering Sustained Student-Faculty Engagement in Undergraduate Education explores how these shifts in college and university environments affect undergraduate student-faculty interactions and engagement.
The edited text focuses on how higher education scholars, faculty, and leaders might reconsider and rethink undergraduate student-faculty experiences for present day higher education, both inside and outside of the classroom. Additionally, the volume challenges existing notions of student-faculty interaction, focusing instead on improving the quality of interactions and fostering sustained mentoring relationships for important populations of students, ultimately considering how student-faculty engagement can contribute to student learning and success in higher education. A timely book, Fostering Sustained Student-Faculty Engagement in Undergraduate Education offers practicable recommendations for higher education faculty, student affairs staff, faculty development professionals, and college and university leaders for fostering effectual student-faculty experiences.
