Enhancing student learning and development - new resource

Enhancing Student Learning and Development in Cross-Border Higher Education, Vol. 175 of the New Directions for Higher Education series is now available in print and digital versions. The book provides essential background to inform international higher education faculty, administrators, policy makers, and funders about the research and theorizing around enhancing student learning and development as well as the contribution student affairs educators make on campuses throughout the world.

Susan Komives and I served as the editors for this book and the contributing authors are experienced educators from around the world. Each chapter advocates carefully adapting practices so that they make sense for many different cultures and environments. The link above provides a preview and print/digital copies can be ordered from the site.

Enhancing Student Learning and Development... will be helpful for a variety of readers. It can be of help as institutions reflect on their comprehensive internationalization strategy. It will help those in emerging higher education centers construct ways to make sure students fully benefit from their experience. It should also be useful to graduate program faculty seeking to introduce new professionals and graduate students to critical issues in internationalization.

Susan, our contributing authors, and my most sincere desire is that this book will help those who know how powerful the student experience can be but lack the understanding of what can be done to make it better. With the tools provided in the text, student learning and development around the globe can be enhanced in ways that will transform education and the societies that see education as the gateway to peace and prosperity.
