¶ … student affairs staff and their work on campus. Many factors contribute to the higher education system in America. Learning climates, institutional goals, organizations, and even the students themselves all contribute to how the student affairs staff relates to students while achieving their goals. One thing that can bring all the elements of student affairs into one cognitive whole is developing a system of community that involves students, faculty, and administration.
One factor that is greatly affecting student affairs throughout America is the growing diversity of the student population. America's population is growing increasingly diverse, and that is reaching college campuses in many ways. Student affairs staff need to enlist new ways of dealing with the diverse student population, including developing multicultural awareness and openness, promoting involvement, understanding individual differences, and educating students in other cultures (Blimling & Whitt, 1999, p. 161). Education is not just about the classroom, it extends to all areas of the campus, and even off campus, and student affairs need to be aware of that and develop programs that address all aspects of college life.
Another important aspect of student affairs today is technology. In an increasingly technological society, students use technology just about every minute of every day, from cell phones and iPods to laptops and BlackBerries. All of these technological devices require maintenance in dorm room and cars, but they require regulations, as well, (such as no cell phones during class, or no computers during testing). Student affairs must help develop these policies and procedures, and must recognize the growing reliance on technology in and out of the classroom. These are only some of the many factors facing student affairs staff today.

Nature vs. Nurture: The modern field of psychology has been characterized by various significant questions including the concern regarding nature vs. nurture. This concern can also be described as the determination of the extent with which biology influences an individual's psychology as compared to cultural constructs or factors.

Businesses are now pushing more so than ever before for schools and educators to adopt a community or learning community based approach to student education, in the hopes students will graduate with more applicable skill sets they can apply to the immediate global workplace.

The idea was
