Engaging case study compendium! I really enjoyed reading the Maplewood College Compendium. If you're looking for a way to engage your student affairs staff, this would be a fun source for case studies to discuss as a group. I think anyone who's worked on a campus will see themselves and their colleagues and students in these case studies and will enjoy discussing how these situations play out. I highly recommend it!
