New and Noteworthy Releases
Rethinking Student Transitions: How Community, Participation, and Becoming Can Help
Higher Education Deliver on its Promise
This publication presents a reimagined theory of student transitions in college. The
authors contend that while previous theorizations have helped move the practice of
supporting student success forward through the latter half of the twentieth century,
earlier conceptualizations and models have led to an inconsistent and incomplete picture
of students’ experiences in transition.
Ensuring Success for Students Who Transfer: The Importance of Career and Professional
Development
Transfer students face a unique set of challenges when trying to get acclimated to
their new environment. In the current transfer literature, there is an absence of
career development in all its forms including career resources, career advising, career
coaching/counseling, professional readiness, and job search strategizing. This publication
works to fill this void.
