College and university administrators go through three types of transitions: job transitions, career transitions, and life transitions. Each of these is detailed in this conference speech and suggestions are made for assisting administrators with such changes. Reference is made to experimental services designed and implemented over the past three years by the Kellogg Foundation-funded Center for Professional Development at the Kansas City Regional Council for Higher Education (KCRCHE). Assistance with job transitions includes utilization of peer consultants, comparative surveys of other institutions and their administrators, and in-service training courses. Career and life transitions are helped by career planning seminars, job search seminars, one-to-one consultations, and referrals to psychotherapists. It is suggested that a balanced administrative development program should consist of both a training component to assist administrators in learning new job responsibilities, and a personal development component to facilitate the complex personal-professional growth process of administrators.
