Dallin George Young, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the College Student Affairs
Administration and Student Affairs Leadership graduate programs at the University
of Georgia. His research focuses on a line of inquiry that investigates how novices

in academic communities of practice. His research and practice includes: theoretical
perspectives to interrogate student transitions into the academy; how graduate and
professional students learn the rules, knowledge, and culture of their fields; the
transformative potential for students engaged in peer leadership; and the (differential)
impacts of educational structures on the success of students in transition.
