Salter The Pennsylvania State University Greetings, Because they embody both theory and practice with current issues facing the profession, case studies have long served as a training tool for student affairs professionals. This special edition of Student Affairs Online reflects a new strategy to conducting these “competitions”; applying the case study approach to issues of emerging technology within the “virtual learning environment”. Having attended case study presentations at professional conferences, I can say that the virtual competition allows for a larger and more diverse slate of teams who are able to share their work with the world, basically. The students who responded to the Telnet College scenario should be proud of their efforts, and the rest of us should be humbled by their insights. Enjoy! DWS Inside This Issue Virtual Case Study Competition To celebrate the five year anniversary of StudentAffairs.com we inaugurated a Virtual Case Study Competition for Masters level students in student personnel administration, counseling or higher education administration graduate programs. Sixteen teams from around the country entered the competiton. They were given a technology-oriented scenario with the charge of putting together a fictional 15-minute presentation which would be delivered at a Student Affairs staff meeting.
