IntroductionAs student affairs practitioners, the use and understanding of student development theories is a key factor in our responsibilities. We must learn to apply different theories to certain situations that will arise with our students on the college campus. Theories of student development may also be key to understanding why students may act the way they do. Theories of student development can be defined as how a student grows, progresses or increases their developmental capabilities, following their enrollment in a higher education institution. Moreover, there are three types of development, namely change, growth. and development (Giroir, 2013). As part of this particular assignment, I am asked to interview a graduate or university student. I was also challenged to use different theories of student development to explain the development of the interviewee. I chose to interview one of my fraternity brothers, who works in higher education. During the interview, I had a few target questions I wanted to ask. I asked the interviewees questions related to their relationships with others, their personal growth, and their academic career. I will use Chickering's theory of identity development and Perry's theory of intellectual and ethical development. General Information My fraternity brother Jeremy is a college graduate and currently working at a university here in Little Rock, Arkansas. Jeremy works with first-generation college students, most of whom are African American men. Jeremy grew up in a small country town in Arkansas. Jeremy chose this university because he received a university scholarshipINTERVIEWForge, 3 years and he wanted to move to a metropolitan city so he could experience a different way of life.J...... middle of paper...... o demonstrate their development through their college experiences. Finally, I think Perry's theory of intellectual and ethical development could be used to describe Jeremy in his college experience. I think as Jeremy progressed through his college years, he had a relativistic thought process. When Jeremy entered college, he lived in a fundamental duality. He would be described as viewing the dichotomous world as an example of good, bad, right and wrong. ConclusionIn conclusion, Jeremy's interview was very interesting. I see a complete change from the person he told me he was; to the person he is today. I think his life is a great testimony to other students. I think what he's doing in his career working with other students like he did is a great reward for him. This assignment allowed me to practice using different theories in practical situations..
