Praise for the Second Edition of STUDENT DEVELOPMENT IN COLLEGE 
"Student Development in College is a rich, comprehensive exploration of the major theoretical perspectives that inform development. The authors' attention to nuances and complexities results in a substantive history of theory development and a careful story about how various perspectives evolved yielding contemporary theorizing. The book is a masterful blend of theoretical lenses and their use in designing developmentally appropriate practice for diverse populations of contemporary college students. It is an excellent resource for all educators who work on college campuses." —Marcia Baxter Magolda, Distinguished Professor, Educational Leadership, Miami University 
"This is an invaluable work for anyone seeking an introduction to college student development theories or those seeking to update their existing knowledge. It offers a thorough and complex review of both the foundational theories and the newer—often more culturally relevant—theories and models." —Raechele L. Pope, program coordinator, Higher Education Program, University at Buffalo 
"The original book was a tremendous contribution to the field of higher education and especially student affairs. After more than ten years, this revision is a timely and focused enhancement to the literature that nurtures quality professionals to think differently about topics relevant to our field. Well done a second time around!" —Gregory Roberts, executive director, ACPA—College Student Educators International

This sourcebook focuses on using films, television shows, music, and popular books to facilitate student learning. The goal is to share creative and effective approaches to reaching students in content areas that are frequently the focus in student affairs undergraduate and graduate course, programming, and staff training. This volume is intended to be a resource for both student affairs practitioners and college student affairs faculty. The chapters discuss the use of entertainment media to facilitate understanding of general student development, multiculturalism, sexual orientation, gender issues, leadership, counseling skills, and career development. 
Why both with using entertainment media to facilitate learning? Traditional means of learning, such as lectures, reading assignments, and papers, are valuable, but reaching all students and enhancing their learning may require going beyond the traditional, especially in the out-of-classroom environments that are typical in student affairs. In addition, entertainment media can provide learning opportunities that would be difficult or impossible to create through traditional means. Student characteristics, learning styles and other pedagogical considerations, and possible contributions of the media to learning all warrant attention in considering the value of using entertainment media. This is the 108th issue of the Jossey-Bass quarterly series New Directions for Student Services.
