Hornak, Anne M.; Ozaki, C. Carolyn; Lunceford, Christina
Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, v53 n2 p118-130 2016
This study was designed to explore the socialization of student affairs professionals in community colleges. The authors used the theory of organizational socialization (Van Maanen & Schein, 1979) and explored these nuances through a qualitative research design. Findings include differences in socialization in institutions versus the profession. The study offers insights for graduate preparation programs as they develop programs to prepare professionals in this sector.
