In this chapter, Karen Kurotsuchi Inkelas and Terrence Hanlon offer a scholarly informed analysis and reflection on essays by an executive vice president for academic and student affairs at a large technical college, a clinical assistant professor at a major state university, an advisor for fraternity and sorority life at a private university, and a college student. The essays offer responses to the question: What are the most significant opportunities for today's college students? While all essayists are stakeholders in higher education, they inhabit very different positions and social locations in relation to the academy. In this chapter, an examination of these narratives reveals important points of congruence and areas of discrepancies in their views on today's college students. This chapter explores these areas of agreement and difference, connects resulting themes to extant theory of student learning and development, and concludes with a call to action for readers to activate on behalf of college students, no matter their positionality.
