Putting Students First [EPUB ebook] 
How Colleges Develop Students Purposefully

Ajutor

In Putting Students First, the authors argue that colleges
can and should invest in holistic student development by
recognizing and building on the students’ search for purpose
in life, intellectually, spiritually, and morally. Based on a study
conducted at ten religiously-affiliated schools, the book urges all
colleges to rethink their approach to teaching and advising the
increasingly diverse students of today; their critical mission
should be to prepare students to become ethically responsible and
active contributors to society, as well as critical thinkers and
skilled professionals.
Putting Students First offers perspectives and
recommendations in areas of holistic student development such
as
* Understanding millennial college students
* The role of faculty in defining culture
* The design and implementation of curriculum
* The impact of cocurricular involvement
* Fostering relationships with on-campus and off-campus
communities
By organizing the campus environment into
‘4Cs’–culture, curriculum, cocurriculum, and
community–the authors create a conceptual framework for
faculty, student affairs staff, and administrators to discuss,
plan, and create college environments that effectively support the
learning and development of students. Each chapter includes an
introduction, evidence and analysis, a summary, and questions to
help readers consider how to develop students holistically on their
own campuses.
