The Student Affairs Profession
• In 1920’s Dean of Men and Women acted in loco parentis
• The Student Personnel Point of View (1937) added a student development mission
• 1960’s student activism eroded in loco parentis
• The Student Learning Imperative (ACPA, 1996) and Learning Reconsidered (NASPA, 2004) emphasized educational role
• Middle States accreditation now requires assessment of learning outcomes and specifically includes cocurricular learning

Student Affairs Professionals
“Student affairs professionals are educators who share responsibility with faculty, academic administrators, other staff, and students themselves for creating the conditions under which students are likely to expend time and energy in educationally-purposeful activities.”
(Student Learning Imperative, ACPA, 1996)
![Page 9: Leveraging Educational Technology to Support Co- Curricular Learning at the Pennsylvania State University Andrea Gregg Student Affairs Instructional Designer.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551a18b2550346cb358b4812/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Broadening the Scope: Regional Campuses & World Campus
• Renewed mandate to coordinate among campuses to deliver consistent programming throughout the University.
• “Institutions’ experience and research demonstrate that [distance education] students’ retention, completion, and satisfaction depend heavily on achieving a sense of connection with the institution.” (Guide to Developing Online Student Services)
• World Campus students currently only have access to Penn State Student Affairs programming that is online.
