ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the staffing potential of four groups: faculty; student personnel staff, including counselors; undergraduate students; and graduate students. The planning committee should include people such as faculty advisors who have had firsthand experience with students for whom the Seminar would be helpful. Choosing an instructional staff for Seminar is ultimately going to boil down to the practical question of who is interested and available. The Seminar is less likely to be perceived as some mysterious or frivolous scheme of the college shrinks or as an attempt at empire building, but as a rational, serious, and structured plan for helping students to be competent in the skills of studenthood. If professional staff resources are too limited to allow their full staffing of Seminar, an alternative is to use graduate student interns from one of the helping professions: counseling, student personnel, or social work.
