Adult Student Development
Theory 101:
An Introduction to Understanding
We never cease to grow and develop. The constant in all of our lives is change. Adult development theory is often overlooked in graduate programs or presented during a �special student population� lecture. Student demographics have been changing since 1979 and adult learners are present on college campuses. It is important that faculty and staff understand and apply adult development theory to practice.
This one day workshop will introduce faculty, staff and students to adult development theory and provide an opportunity to dialogue with others the application of theory.
Dr. Florence Hamrick, Assistant Professor in Education and Leadership Studies at Iowa State University will present a brief introduction to Erikson, Levinson, Josselson, Schlossberg, Kohlberg, Gilligan, and Belenky�s theory of development. The afternoon session will provide time for group work to apply theory to different campuses.
Flo Hamrick has been Assistant Professor of Higher Education at Iowa State University since 1996. She teaches graduate courses in student development theory and research methods. Flo earned her Ph.D. in higher education from Indiana University, her M.A. in college student personnel from Ohio State University, and her B.A. in English from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Prior to becoming a graduate faculty member, Flo worked for 10 years as a counselor and administrator in career planning and placement services. During most of that time she worked at Wichita State University in Kansas, where she had extensive experience with adult learners and individuals pursuing career changes.
