Résumé 0

The student life experience – a term dating back to the 1970’s – has gained traction in academic research over the last fifteen years. Concurrent with this topical interest a specific class of experts has come to the higher education stage. They occupy a ‘third space’ between academia and administration. With this volume the authors give substance to their professional roles by bridging the academic disciplines of sociology, education and design sciences, and the academic and administrative functions of training and supporting students. They bring to the table diverse perspectives and expertise that spans more than forty years of combined experience in Flemish higher education. This shared effort results from the need for collaboration, innovation, and a holistic approach in order to address the complex challenges in higher education, and specifically in the field of student affairs and services (SAS).
