谁是成人本科生？我们如何定义程序设计、支持服务和研究的专业客户？鉴于年轻大学生作为兼职、工人、家长和电子学习学生的概况不断变化，我们如何在服务和倡导方面将这些年轻人与我们的老年本科生区分开来？这些问题是通过一个简短的历史背景来探索的，目的是将成人学生置于从殖民地美国到现在的本科高等教育中。第二部分探讨了过去用于对本科高等教育中的成年人进行分类并经常将其分开的修辞和观点。鉴于这些复杂的、有时甚至是相互矛盾的行动和理解，我们将提供三个建议，以帮助您确定、倡导和领导面向成人本科生终身学习者的计划和服务。
Abstract Who are adult undergraduates? How do we define this specialized clientele for program designs, support services, and research? Given changing profiles of young collegiate adults as part-time, worker, parent, and e-learning students, how do we differentiate these younger adults from our older adult undergraduates for our services and advocacy? These questions are explored through an abbreviated historic background to situate the adult student in undergraduate higher education from colonial America to the present. The second section explores past rhetoric and perspectives used to classify and often segregate adults in undergraduate higher education. Given the complex and sometimes contradictory actions and understandings, three propositions will be offered to aid you in framing your perspective to define, advocate, and lead programs and services for adult undergraduate learners as lifelong learners.
