Challenges faced by student affairs and services departments in institutions of higher learning
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Abstract: Student affairs professionals are inundated by various challenges in their day to day activities. The duty to mould the character of the student, excessive and underage alcohol abuse by students, limited time to carry out student affairs activities, lack of funding of the various student affairs activities and problems of student retention are some of the challenges that face student affairs practitioners. This paper recommends that the student affairs department should build a strong relationship with the student body and try to match students’ needs and the services they provide. It is also recommended that the student affairs department should engage in vigorous resource mobilization activities through engaging the Alumni Associations. In the resource mobilization activities, the corporate world can also be roped in. Keywords: Challenges, Institutions of higher learning.
