Job One 2.0

Understanding the Next Generation of Student Affairs Professionals, 2nd Edition

Edited by Peter M. Magolda and Jill Ellen Carnaghi

In this second edition of Job One, editors Peter M. Magolda and Jill Ellen Carnaghi place new professionals' stories “center stage.” The book focuses on narratives written by new professionals about their introduction and transitions into Student Affairs work. These stories document the joys and angst felt as new professionals prepare to transition from graduate school to work, search for their first Student Affairs position, assimilate campus norms, formulate a professional identity, satisfy supervisors' expectations, mediate cultural conflicts, and remain true to their personal and professional values. This book is a useful resource inviting new professionals, supervisors, and faculty to think differently about the on-going education and needs of new professionals, while offering a new perspective for optimizing new professionals' experiences. Co-published ACPA – College Student Educators International.
