Book description
Undergraduate students come to college from a myriad of pathways for
a variety of purposes, and the same can be said of them as they leave
to head off into their next endeavors. Arguably, the most important
goal of higher education is to prepare students to achieve their
postcollege aspirations, and campuses typically pursue that goal
through a combination of curricular and co-curricular programs and
services for students.
This issue offers readers a glimpse into contemporary context and
practice related to helping students with their after-college
transition from one form of education (two-year or four-year) to the
next (four-year, graduate, or professional school), from education to
workforce, or from education to military service.
This is the 138th volume of this Jossey-Bass higher
education quarterly series. An indispensable resource for vice
presidents of student affairs, deans of students, student counselors,
and other student services professionals,
New Directions for Student Services offers guidelines and
programs for aiding students in their total development: emotional,
social, physical, and intellectual.
