Co-Learning in Higher Education

Co-Learning in Higher Education addresses topics critical to the future of higher education: the wellbeing of communities, engagement of scholars supporting new generations of social activists, and the renewal and expansion of educational and career pathways. It develops a theory of co-learning that engages students and professors across generations in partnerships with community organizations, schools, and corporations that solve emerging social and environmental challenges. Collaboratively written cases discuss community projects, engaging pedagogies, and action research projects. These co-cases demonstrate the power of using critical pedagogies and social action within troubling contexts, rather than assuming public policy changes are the only solution. Contributors explore mentoring, discuss pedagogies that promote community wellbeing and equity, address the urgency of change in universities, and reflect on the implications of this chaotic period for empowering social agency among youth in rising generations. This is a timely volume for scholars and students in higher education and educational policy.

Advancement Work in Student Affairs: The Challenges and Strategies

This volume is intended to serve as a sourcebook for those who are engaged in fundraising on behalf of the programs and services in divisions of student affairs, as well as those in student affairs who are not involved in this activity but wish to be. It seeks to convey the principles that drive effective practice in fundraising for student affairs. This volume considers fundraising in student affairs organization through the voices of a collection of persons with strong student affairs backgrounds representing a wide range of institutions. Many institutions have highly sophisticated and successful development operations, large endowments, and finely tuned fundraising programs. However, many large public institutions are new to the game, as are smaller private institutions that are overly dependent on tuition revenue. Many comprehensive public universities have only recently gotten started with development initiatives, and that is the case for many community colleges. Thus, this volume presents a team of authors who represent those types of institutions.
