Spirituality as a Component of Holistic Student Development: Perspectives and Practices of Student Affairs Professionals

This article reports the findings and implications of an empirical study that explored the spiritual inclinations and practices of student affairs professionals. The survey for this research utilized pre-existing scales from the UCLA national student and faculty studies, scales developed by Seifert and Harmon (2009), and two newly developed scales, Graduate School Curricula and Mentoring Experiences. The results of this research do appear to confirm that even though the profession of student affairs espouses the value of holistic student development, practitioners do not consistently include spirituality as a component of their practice.
