"Preparing Students for Life Beyond College is a uniquely helpful, wise, and practical guide to engendering meaning-making on campuses.　 Containing a fine balance of explication of ideas, reflections from students, faculty, and staff, and pedagogical strategies, this book meets a need in higher education institutions that are too often adrift. The wisdom of this book can lift the sights of those who staff those institutions." --Michael D. Waggoner, Professor of Higher Education, University of Northern Iowa and Editor, Religion & Education "Nash and Jang integrate wise saws, broad-based scholarship and rich personal experiences to help us address the ‘meaning-making’ challenges facing ‘quarterlifers.’ Their practical suggestions will be useful to experienced teachers as well as to new professionals confronting these age old existential issues." --Dr. Arthur W. Chickering, Pitkin Fellow, Goddard College "With a passion for reminding the academy that the 'why?'precedes the 'what?', Nash and Jang have generously described their own classroom practice. Within this book you will discover a treasure trove of evocative, artful, tested questions that can be used across disciplines to re-claim the vital work of meaning-making throughout higher education." --Sharon Daloz Parks, Author, Big Questions, Worthy Dreams "Preparing Students for Life beyond College is a wonderful little book that offers a practical course for those who seek to support, or mentor, their students as they explore the questions that underlie their existence and attempt to create a life of meaning." --Emma Farrell, Power and Education Journal
