Unsolicited Advice From 2002

http://www.insidehighered.com/sites/default/server_files/styles/large/public/student_affairs_and_technology_blog_header.jpgBy Eric Stoller. Every now and then, a post on the Student Affairs Collective captures my attention and gets me reflecting on my own experiences as a student affairs professional. Ben Weiner's post on "The Challenge of Motivating Yourself in Student Affairs" is a call for assistance/advice/support by a new practitioner who is navigating their way through their first professional role in the field.

http://www.insidehighered.com/sites/default/server_files/styles/large/public/CRW.jpgBy Lee Skallerup Bessette. Lately, I’ve been having a very distinct feeling that I have been doing it all wrong.

A few weeks ago (ok, almost three months now – HOW IS IT ALREADY JUNE), Michael Bérubé wrote “A New Model of Tenure” here at IHE, calling for a “teacher track” for more teaching-intensive positions.

In Praise of Academe

By Yves Salomon-Fernandez. Sunday afternoon as I drove back from a meeting with my student mentee—assigned through the graduate program in which I teach — I reflected about the impact of our sector, higher education. This was triggered by a statement she made about not liking school, a view largely shaped by her undergraduate experience. More...

Teaching vs. Learning

By Steven Mintz. The high point in my teaching career was leading sections of Columbia University’s core curriculum courses. Columbia is among the last bastions of a traditional private research university offering a prescribed “great books” core to undergraduates. The core’s centerpieces are close readings of landmarks in Western literature and classic texts in philosophy, political theory, and theology.
