College Students in the United States

The connection between college students and their environments has always been the core of student affairs. Yet, it is easy to underestimate the importance of understanding who our students are in terms of their characteristics and experiences as well as evaluating the impact that our campuses have on them. Renn and Reason have once again brought us back to our roots by updating their vital text, College Students in the United States: Characteristics, Experiences, and Outcomes. It is through their text and the conversations they encourage that we can study and better meet the needs of our students.
