Abstract

   The apolitical nature of the civic engagement movement poses challenges to our  
   democracy (Saltmarsh & Hartley, 2011). The co-curricular experience is well positioned to  
   address this phenomenon but little research exists to inform practice. This qualitative study  
   uncovers how the socialization of senior student affairs officers (SSAO) influences  
   approaches to student civic/political development. Implications for practice and future  
   research are presented based on the findings from the study.
