    These roles can be anything from the librarian, professor, and even to the university president; Hacker and Dreifus express that these roles could be executed better to help the development of a college student's experience. Some ways that these roles can be executed is by engaging with students.

    This highlights the importance and effectiveness of using the ASCA National Model as a framework to provide counseling services to students.

In the area of delivery they provide direct and indirect student services such as individual student planning, individual and group counseling, consultation, and collaboration.…

They are there along the process to advise and be able to connect with a student in a way that leads the student to the college.

This ‘luring’ that they both included in their writings are just techniques schools may use occasionally.…

Lastly, it is important provide students with community to establish their identity as emerging adults, provide a safe living and learning environment, and a supportive community for growth, development, and self-exploration. I believe that my personal philosophy will continue to adjust and develop as I continuously work with students but it is important to be willing to adjust my approach to Student Affairs as both the field and the students are continuously changing and evolving.…
