Summary:"Student Affairs in Urban-Serving Institutions addresses a critical gap in literature concerning the unique structure, students, and missions of Urban-Serving Institutions (USIs). Examining the challenges and contributions of student affairs professionals in serving and meeting the needs of urban students, this volume discusses how services and interventions must reflect the reality of students, understand the sociopolitical forces that affect students' lives, and bring together a network that includes family and community.
