The Journal of Technology in Student Affairs
Editor's Note
As folks begin yet a new academic year, we have three articles that perhaps will provide some new ideas. I am particularly fond of Eric Stoller's article, because I was giving similar advice and making the same predictions over ten years ago when I managed a student affairs research and technology department. I have always thought that student affairs divisions should have both shops in house, so as not to rely on the often faulty "expertise" of consultants. It appears that we still have a long way to go.
