"Student Services: A Handbook for the Profession is a rich addition to the bookshelf of anyone embarking upon a career in student affairs. It builds on the comprehensive nature of previous editions but integrates important updates and perspectives on more current and urgent issues, posing questions and activities at the end of each chapter."
DEBORA L. LIDDELL, professor and chair, Educational Policy and Leadership Studies, University of Iowa; editor, Journal of College Student Development

"In the field of higher education, opportunities continue to grow while the challenges become more complex. Student Services (aka ′The Green Book′) offers unique and actionable content that contextualizes current issues, with a special focus on the need to alternate between theory and practice. The authors highlight the primacy of the role of Student Affairs for the successful transition to a 21st–century higher education model. In this Sixth Edition, Student Services encourages us to review, and also direct, the range of issues that exist across myriad institutions. It provides a meaningful framework to critically consider and shape the vision and mission of successful higher education models. This book is a must–have for both the student affairs theorist and the practitioner."
JAVAUNE ADAMS–GASTON, senior vice president for Student Life, The Ohio State University

"Unbelievably, Schuh, Jones, and Torres have emboldened the legacy and contribution of Student Services (aka ′The Green Book′) through their efforts with the current edition. For those of us who labored over the pages of ′The Green Book′ in graduate school and as early professionals, key aspects made it the standard. The book provided an environmental scan of student services practice, topics were covered by both current and emerging thought leaders in the field, a comprehensive treatment of critical challenges confronting work with college students was provided, and it served as a chief professional development manual for practitioners. It is obvious in the current edition, the editors spent significant time weaving the independent contributions into a collective tapestry worthy of its designation as a seminal publication."
JERLANDO F. L. JACKSON, Vilas Distinguished Professor of Higher Education; director, Wisconsin′s Equity and Inclusion Laboratory, University of Wisconsin–Madison
