Description
Summary:This article introduces the concept of a scholarship of practice and its potential for improving student affairs research and practice. Student affairs graduate preparation faculty members and student affairs scholar‐practitioners can engage in a scholarship of practice by using research to inform their practice and using the findings of their research to guide their own work. We focus on the notion of the scholarship of practice as a two‐way loop between practitioners to researchers and researchers back to practitioners. We apply these concepts to student affairs.
