Jensen and Visser have assembled scholar-practitioners who skillfully invite us to dive deeply into the current dialogue in higher education. The chapters are brimming with relevant questions and challenges for this generation of campus leaders. Student development professionals who are committed to a Christian posture will be served well by immersing themselves in these sometimes uncomfortable yet critically important conversations.
Stephen T. Beers, Vice President for Student Development, John Brown University
Jensen and Visser clearly understand the issues facing twenty-first century higher education practitioners. Equally clear and perhaps even more compelling, they understand the heart of higher education its truest nature and its truest possibilities. This volume will not only help educators practice their craft more effectively but will dare them to think more deeply about the formational nature and potential of their work. Reimagining the Student Experience is a treasure that will bless many, both those who work with students and the students themselves.
Tim Herrmann, Director of the MA in Higher Education and Student Development Program, Taylor University, and coeditor of A Calling to Care
At a time when our nation is deeply divided and change is the norm, faith-based higher education must embrace the purpose and promise of preparing servant leaders who will exemplify knowledge, wisdom, empathy, and compassion. However, this calling can only be fulfilled if educators unite in their efforts to reimagine the student experience as a holistic endeavor. Jensen and Visser have edited an engaging, persuasive volume that will surely inspire a new generation of student affairs professionals.
