E-grāmata: Student Engagement in Higher Education: Theoretical Perspectives and Practical Approaches for Diverse Populations

"The third edition reinforces the relevancy and continues the brilliance of previous editions by highlighting the urgency for the transformation of educators and institutional structures to be more knowledgeable and expansive, not just inclusive and diverse. With a focus on theory and practice, this book is a required read for those who seek to educate students in our current environment." Tia Brown McNair, Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Student Success, American Association of Colleges and Universities

"Quaye, Harper, and Pendakur have reassembled a book that continues to provide fresh insights by offering a more nuanced understanding of student engagement and persistence, which takes seriously the promise of higher education to close opportunity gaps. The chapters provide deliberate and culturally responsive strategies that address the challenges that we actually have in colleges and universities rather than the ones that we would like to have. This edition is an especially timely and sobering counterweight to the increasingly pervasive nonsense that ignores the educational realities associated with diversity." Mitchell J. Chang, Professor of Higher Education and Organizational Change, UCLA

"As our work increasingly focuses on student engagement and belonging, this timely third volume demonstrates the unexamined ways our campuses were not designed for todays students. By exploring a nuanced and broad array of relevant student identities, often marginalized, it tells us precisely how to make all of our students the center of our attention." Penny Rue, Vice President for Campus Life, Wake Forest University

"This edited volume is undeniably the most important contribution to moving the student engagement literature to a critical space that broadens how readers thinkit continues to push the envelope of its predecessors by presenting the complexities and experiences of students whose lives are rarely the center of attention in the larger body of work on student engagementit is precisely the resource that researchers, institutional leaders, and policymakers need in order to truly meet the needs of all students who aspire to attain a college degree." From the foreword by Lori Patton Davis, Department Chair in Educational Studies, The Ohio State University

"This third edition of Student Engagement in Higher Education is a vital blueprint for faculty, administrators, and student affairs educators to more successfully center marginalized, vulnerable, and underserved communities in their work and approach engaging these communities with an equity frame." --From the afterword by Vijay Pendakur, Robert W. and Elizabeth C. Staley Dean of Students, Cornell University
