Abstract
This article provides a reflection on an illustration designed to embody the author’s perception of the professional field of student development. The illustration, titled, “Navigating the Student Affairs Profession,” is a visual exploration of the competencies, skills, and challenges of the career field as defined by contemporary practitioners and researchers. The author explains that the geographical map of professional practices derives from the author’s Jesuit and social justice education in a Student Development Administration master’s program. The author also discusses how this visual representation of the profession allows other practitioners to become more cognizant of their own identities and experiences and how these play into professional identity.
