History and scholarship

Astin's (1984) involvement theory, Tinto (1975) on integration, Pascarella and Terenzini (2005), Kuh's (2008) high-impact practices, and Coleman (1988) and Putnam (2000) on social capital frame these activities.

Key points

Types include supporters, reporter teams, volunteering, clubs and mentoring; compare content and organiser credibility. Laws, programmes, visa rules and hiring practice change; check official notices, current law and actual postings.

In practice

Depth over number; write outcomes with STAR; beware excessive fees.

FAQ

More is better?: Relevance matters more.
Counts as a spec?: Varies by employer.
