To celebrate and honor ACPA’s 100th anniversary, Journal of College Student Development (JCSD) editors will have a special issue to commemorate the field’s foundations and embrace the future boldly to meet the next 100 years. We further hope to use this issue as a springboard for further conversation, scholarship, and initiatives centered around the tensions between remembering the past, revising the present, and preparing for the future of Student Affairs. The following questions will guide the manuscripts for this special issue:
- What does the practice/field of Student Affairs need to consider as it transforms to meet the needs of new generations of students?
- Whose stories have been left out of the research in the field?
- How does the work we as researchers and practitioners do yield the type of scholar/activist the field needs to meet future demands?
- Are the theories and models used to base student affairs practice the ones we should continue to advance? Are there changes to our theoretical foundation that should be considered?
- How are policy analysis and institutional types considered in the research to advance the field of student affairs?
