Introduction to the Journal of College and Character Special 20th Anniversary Issue

Abstract In an era of great moral and social conflict, it is timely to examine more closely higher education’s commitment to character development as an intrinsic and essential aspect of students’ learning and development during the college years. The development of character has been central to the work of student affairs since its beginnings in American higher education, and character development has been a central tenet of holistic student development. This introduction to the Journal of College and Character’s special 20th anniversary issue underscores the journal’s commitment to character development and provides brief summaries of the articles by senior scholars and leaders in the field included in the issue.
