Technology is affecting how student affairs professionals work with students to deliver traditional programs and services. This article begins with an overview of the characteristics of current students and their experiences and comfort with technology. This understanding leads to the role of student affairs professionals as creators, designers and developers of programs and services using ever-expanding technology. The authors also discuss potential new applications of technology for student affairs programs while identifying ethical issues that student affairs professionals need to discuss when considering the use of new technological tools.
