"Dr. Foubert's book Lessons Learned offers its readers a creative way to consider and discuss important issues with residence hall staff members. This innovative approach -- the presentation of letters to new staff members from a current staff member -- offers a non-threatening way for staff to tackle and talk about issues... Making this a very contemporary source for current staff members."
-- Jeanne S. Steffes, Ph.D., President, ACPA College Student Educators International and Associate Vice President, Student Affairs, Syracuse University
"John Foubert has turned an educational method into a training model for Resident Assistants.
