Purpose in Life, Student Development, and Well-Being: Recommendations for Student Affairs Practitioners

Christy D. Moran

Abstract

To supplement student development research, the author reviews clinical psychological research on the concept of purpose in life. This review is presented to provide implications and recommendations for practice in the higher education setting. By not only encouraging students to identify a purpose in life but also assisting them in this process, student affairs practitioners may positively influence their personal development and well-being.
