Most of the articles are written by student affairs practitioners and faculty, but I want to encourage graduate students in student affairs and higher education programs to consider writing about their experiences and research pertaining to technology, especially as to how technology impacts the undergraduate students whom they serve. Faculty members who read good student papers related to technological issues in higher education should suggest that their students polish and submit their papers to StudentAffairs On-line. As with any journal, prospective authors should review past issues of the Journal to get an idea of content and style. Any questions can be addressed to me personally by email. Gary D.
