The Special Collections Book of the Week this week is:

Perspectives on Student Affairs in South Africa edited by McGlory Speckman and Andrew Mandew

The papers contained herein are based on best practice, local experience and well-researched international and local theories. They deal with matters pertaining to international and national trends in student affairs: academic development, access and retention, counselling and material support for students coming from disadvantaged backgrounds. They are linked to national and international developments, as described in the first two papers. This publication will assist both young and experienced practitioners as they grow into their task of developing the students entrusted to them.
