In this final article, we have been tasked with discussing the future of professional preparation in student affairs. Making predictions about the future of anything, even in sedentary times, is dicey, so given the dynamism and chaos of today's world, the reader will find no such forecasts here. Instead, we summarize the challenges facing the field vis-a-vis professional preparation, and we propose a series of possible actions to be considered by the field in order to meet those challenges. Our call to the field is to design and shape the future of professional preparation, not to just let the default future happen.
