ABSTRACT
Collaboration qetween academic and student affairs has received considerable encouragement since the publication of Powerful Partnerships (AAHE et al., 1998). The partnership has been furthered through the proliferation of learning communities, service learning, first-year experience programs, and other initiatives dependent on cooperation between student and academic affairs (Sandeen, 2004), Although improved institutional effectiveness and administrative functioning are often behind the formation of student and academic affairs partnerships (Martin & Murphy, 2000; Schroeder, 1999a), the most significant rationale for such collaboration is enhancing student learning and success (Garland & Grace, 1993; Schroeder, 1999h; Schuh, 1999).
