New book co-edited by Dr. David Nguyen offers insight to higher education professionals on ways to support graduate students

Affiliate Professor of Higher Education and Pupil Affairs, and incoming Dean of College College or university Dr. David Nguyen hopes to enable graduate faculty administrators, pupil affairs pros and college superior realize and support their graduate pupils as a result of the publication of a new guide he has co-edited with Dr. Christina Yao of the College of South Carolina.

“A Handbook for Supporting Today’s Graduate Students” describes plans, initiatives, and interventions that lead to the all round college student retention and results of graduate learners. The e book delivers alongside one another scholar affairs and educational gurus to detect ways of supporting the complete student past just educational overall performance. On top of that, a great deal thought has emphasised holistic conceptualizations for undergraduate students, but graduate students also compromise a sizeable proportion of campus populations and obtain fewer attention. By highlighting this population of college students, Nguyen aims to raise recognition for their precise requirements as well.

The e book gives approaches to superior support today’s graduate pupil inhabitants, addresses the requirements of today’s changing pupil demography, and considers the challenges today’s graduate learners experience inside and exterior of the classroom. A major goal of the ebook is to emphasize techniques packages, departments, and institutions can guidance the tutorial, private, and skilled development of students. During every chapter of the e-book, authors highlight diverse methods for supporting college students at the particular person or institutional level. Collectively, Nguyen and Yao’s volume highlights realistic methods graduate educators can support students within and exterior the classroom. 

Nguyen and co-editor Yao also a short while ago reviewed graduate student mental health and fitness, well-currently being, and support on the Scholar Affairs Now podcast.
