Small College Dean

This volume speaks to the work of deans at small colleges by: * addressing the history and diversity of small colleges and the role of the dean * describing the realities of organizing and staffing a student affairs division at a small college * identifying the differences between the role of vice president and the role of dean in small colleges * providing examples of effective academic affairs and student affiars partnerships in small college settings * thoroughly examining the rewards and challenges of being a senior student affairs officer at a small college Along with providing a focus on the work of senior student affairs officers in small colleges, this volume gives useful information to those interested in working in a small college environment. The Small College Dean was created, in part, to fill the considerable gap in literature concerning this subject matter, and the hope is that this volume will spur further research on the experience of student affairs professionals in small college settings.
