As community colleges embrace learning‐centered practices, student affairs professionals have an opportunity to recommit to building and maintaining partnerships with their academic colleagues. This chapter explores the development, nature, and culture of learning‐centered partnerships between academic and student affairs professionals, identifies best practices in community colleges, and examines the role of technology in enhancing partnership opportunities.
