Abstract
This participatory study examined how student affairs professionals advocated for students within the power structures of university systems. Data analysis from research conversations with six participants found that student affairs professionals experienced a high degree of conflict when they attempted to advocate for students within the confines of their institutional hierarchies. Student affairs professionals employ a variety of strategies for negotiating these tensions. Some strategies entailed working within the power structure while others involved challenging the status quo within their respective institutions. Implications for professionals and graduate educators are presented.
