      abstract = {This book examines the aspirations, challenges and  experiences of contemporary university students through the  eyes and ears of those who provide professional advisory  services. Providing an overview of the growth of the UK  higher education sector in general and that of student  advisory provision in particular, the author highlights the  breadth and depth of the role that professional advisory  staff now play in the higher education landscape. The  volume addresses student academic and career success and  their wellbeing, stressing the importance of understanding  and respecting the diversity of the student body. In doing  so, it emphasises the value of envisioning universities as  inclusive and safe communities that challenge  discrimination, prejudice and bullying, and the importance  of proactive initiatives that help students to develop  self-confidence and resilience. The author addresses other  important but less frequently discussed matters, such as  the impact of the marketization of higher education,  alcohol and drug abuse and the ethical and moral values of  higher education. Annie Grant is a freelance researcher and  writer, and Associate of Newnham College Cambridge, UK.  Following a successful career as a published researcher and  teacher in her specialist field, her work with students led  to her decision to shift her focus to student guidance and  support.},
