EDLR 5092.020: Fostering the Scholar-Practitioner Identity in Student Affairs
1 credit
This course serves as a space for first year HESA students to become familiar with the principles and expectations of the HESA program, graduate coursework, and the practice of higher education and student affairs educators. Students will build relationships with the other members of their cohort in order to foster a community of reflective practitioners that supports and challenges their learning. They will also explore opportunities to integrate scholarship with their professional practice, and to establish plans related to the knowledge, awareness and skills they hope to gain before completing the HESA program.
