The author discusses how Museus' (2014) Culturally Engaging Campus Environment Model (CECE) can be used to re-envision campus multicultural centers, and programs and services that traditionally employ single-axis identity interventions when striving to support student growth and success.

Mainstream higher education research on leadership largely overlooks the leadership of teaching and learning. This paper presents a model of leadership that integrates various elements needed to create universities that intentionally promote holistic student learning and development.

This article examines the psychological theoretical foundations of college student development theory and the theoretical assumptions of this framework. A complimentary, sociological perspective and the theoretical assumptions of this approach are offered. The potential limitations of the overuse of each perspective are considered. The conclusion…

This paper examines educational research on student development and discusses some of the reasons why this research has had so little impact on actual educational innovation. These include: (1) failure to anchor research within a more general model of development; (2) lack of in-depth descriptive and phenomenological studies of students that would…

With a knowledge of students' thinking processes, activities advisers and leaders can design environments for maximum learning and development. An interpretation of Perry's model of intellectual and ethical development is provided. (MLW)

Advising of student-athletes is discussed as an institutional rather than an individual or educational endeavor. A general systems framework for thinking about the issue is provided to initiate a dialogue about the understanding of and developmental change in advising student-athletes. (MLW)

Flexibility, diversity, and efficiency can make small colleges "the educational entrepreneurs" of the nation. By using interdisciplinary programs, independent studies, adjunct professors, and some creativity, they can develop exciting and valuable programs that anticipate the needs of society. (MLW)

Reports on a study of college students (N=276) that tested a model to identify a goodness of fit between students and educational environments. Findings indicate the importance of motivating students to engage in reciprocal relationships with their learning environments to enhance human capital skills. (RJM)

There has been growing interest in the design of campus environments. Since environments are related to growth and/or dysfunction, a program designed to heighten the fit between students and their environment is advantageous. The Resident Environment Adaption Program (REAP) is a five stage service designed to enable students to heighten the fit…
