TLDR: Are you passionate about student affairs in higher education? I want to hear from you! See below for inclusion criteria for the study, Student Affairs Professionals Describe Job Embeddedness’s Impact on Intent to Stay. I am Abbie O’Neill, a doctoral student under the supervision of Dr. Mary Robinson in the College of Doctoral Studies at Grand Canyon University. I am conducting a study to understand why professionals choose to stay in student affairs at private United States (U.S.) based colleges and universities. If you have a passion for the field and know why you have chosen to stay, I want to hear from you. My goal is to use this research to help institutions better understand how to support those within their organization.

New Publication Alert: When we saw more and more of our colleagues leave the field, Rachel Pridgen, Ed.D., Isaiah J. Thomas, Ed.D., and I decided to interview folx who had left the field to better understand what was happening. This study led to the development of a departure model published in The Journal of College Student Development's special issue in honor of ACPA's 100th Anniversary. As a member of the ACPA@100 committee, it was such an honor to publish in this issue and contribute to conversations about the future of our field.

#LovelyProfessionalUniversity Monitoring and Governance is the Key to success In higher education, monitoring and governance are pivotal for the success of any initiative. Monitoring ensures that academic programs and administrative processes are consistently evaluated against defined objectives and standards, enabling timely interventions and continuous improvement. Governance provides a structured framework for decision-making, accountability, and policy adherence, ensuring that initiatives align with the institution's mission and strategic goals. By establishing clear roles, transparent processes, and robust oversight mechanisms, higher education institutions can effectively manage resources, enhance academic quality, and foster a culture of accountability. Together, monitoring and governance drive institutional excellence, support strategic development, and ensure that educational initiatives meet the evolving needs of students and society.

Yes to all of this. More student affairs professionals who have experience working with and for students should be administrators. We have a vantage point others may not. We form ongoing relationships with students that do not depend on their academic standing, achievements, attendance, major, etc. We get to know the whole student over time whether or not they are currently enrolled. We have connections with students because they get to know us and trust us. They allow us to know them intimately. You can not place a dollar sign on this but there is tremendous value in these relationships. We understand how to create, implement, and evaluate programs that address students' needs. For many of us, this has been our passion for 20+ years. Does higher education value this enough to seriously consider more of us as viable administrators? Is this value increasingly demonstrated in how student affairs professionals advance in higher education?

Here’s a reminder: Student Affairs professionals are amazingly skilled at working with students AND being good administrators. They are some of the few individuals in administration who see and understand the entire campus, from multiple perspectives. They should be involved in more critical campus decisions - particularly when students are at the heart of them. Just saying…

I had coffee with a former boss and Senior Student Affairs Officer (SSAO). We lamented the fact that the role of the SSAO as we understood it when entering the field of Student Affairs is by and large extinct. The notion that a SSAO primarily engages in student development was already on the decline then COVID really killed it. In its place stands regulatory compliance, crisis response, and the like. Institutions continue to blend the old and new notions of the role of a SSAO. I often receive recruiting emails for SSAO roles at well resourced institutions seeking one person to advise student government, be chief conduct officer, serve in creating the cabinet's strategic vision for campus, manage all student crises, teach a class, lead a division, chair the behavior intervention team, attend student org events to represent the administration, hit revenue benchmarks in auxiliaries, etc. Some schools have started to bifurcate the role by splitting the SSAO and Dean of Students (DOS) into two positions with the former focused on strategy, leadership, and student facing responsibilities and the latter compliance and crisis response. Usually, the DOS reports to the SSAO. I wonder, though, if this will always be the structure. Will it eventually become two separate cabinet positions? If not on cabinet, will the SSAO report to a Provost while the DOS reports to General Counsel or VP for Administration like Equal Access, Title IX, Human Resources, etc? Where would Housing fall in a split? Would compensation in a DOS unit differ since, I'm told, no one else on campus wants that job? Will the two units compete for resources or remain integrated? All I do know is if Student Affairs splits as a profession and the DOS side goes its own way, it is clear that the new profession should be entitled Compliance & Crisis Response or CCR. Its theme song obviously being, "[I See a] Bad Moon Rising." Long build up to this joke. You're welcome.
