Student affairs professionals are expected to possess a wide variety of knowledge, skills, and dispositions in order to be effective in their jobs (American College Personnel Association [ACPA] & NASPA: Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education [NASPA], 2016). However, factors contributing to the attainment of these professional competencies or current professional development needs have not been well documented in recent years.
