Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1958, four professional associations in the field of college student personnel, the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO), the American College Personnel Association (ACPA), the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA), and the National Association of Women Deans and Counselors (NAWDAC), gathered in St. Louis for a joint professional organization meeting. The participants discussed issues common to their groups and agreed to meet on an annual basis. This collaboration first called itself the Inter-Association Coordinating Committee (IACC) and later changed its name to the Council of Student Personnel Associations in Higher Education or COSPA. The Council would grow to include 16 member associations before dissolving in 1975. This study sought to explore this example of inter-association collaboration and provided an opportunity to examine the past to better inform decision making of today and tomorrow and add to the literature of the history of the student affairs profession. Using Goodchild and Huk's (1990) educational narrative research design as a methodological framework, this study used primary source documents contained in the archival collections of COSPA, ACPA, NASPA, and NAWDAC (later renamed NAWE - the National Association for Women in Education) housed in the National Student Affairs Archives in the Center for Archival Collections at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio. The research established that the initiative grew out of a call for greater collaboration among professional associations in student personnel work. The Collaboration grew and prospered due to the efforts and commitment of key border spanners. This growth also led to increased communication challenges. Furthermore, COSPA faced the constant challenge of turnover, both in terms of representatives from the member associations and the Collaboration's leadership. A combination of factors led to COSPA's end, including a growing tension between generalist and specialist member associations, philosophical disagreements on its mission, and the impact of a large founding organization leaving the table. The Collaboration advanced efforts in professional preparation and student financial aid that continued after dissolution while simultaneously not being able to capitalize on opportunities on shared concerns such as placement.

Download or read book Becoming Socialized in Student Affairs Administration written by Ashley Tull and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective socialization of new student affairs professionals is essential—both for the individual success of these practitioners, and for the work of a college or university that promotes student learning. It enables new professionals to manage the important personal and professional transitions they experience throughout their careers, engage in continuous professional development, and achieve high levels of productivity. It also counteracts the high attrition rate among new hires, with all the attendant costs to the institution in terms of resources spent on recruiting, hiring, training, supervising, and developing staff talent.The socialization process for new professionals includes formal and informal elements that influence both success and quality of work life. This process is far more complex than a single orientation program organized by a unit or division. Rather, it is a comprehensive process where both the new professional and organization learn about and from each other in ways that influence working relationships and individual and organizational outcomes.Part I of this book defines the concept, explains its value, and offers a model of socialization. Part II examines the institutional context in which the socialization of new professionals occurs, and describes how different institutional types influence the socialization process. It considers the changing characteristics of college students, and how these impact the work of student affairs.In addressing the extra-institutional and professional contexts, Part III considers the role that graduate education plays in preparing new professionals for work in student affairs, and offers guidance to faculty and practitioners involved in graduate education about what they can do to introduce graduate students to professional life. It addresses the importance of professional orientation activities, the roles of supervision and mentorship, as well as the impact of peers and institutions on the socialization process. It concludes with a discussion of the role and importance of professional associations.This book is intended for graduate program faculty, for senior student affairs officers concerned about developing and retaining the new staff, and for administrators and leaders in student affairs shaping the future of the profession. For new professionals themselves it offers insights on the path to professionalization.
