Professional Development

To support faculty/staff advisors in implementing proactive advising with sophomores, juniors, and seniors, we will provide a robust program of professional development opportunities related specifically to proactive advising skill-building

Students completing their first year with a professional advisor are well-grounded in effective advising practices and have a better understanding of how to integrate co-curricular and curricular experiences. As a result, our faculty/staff advising has transitioned to one of advisor-mentor. To facilitate this re-envisioned advisor relationship, we institute development opportunities to equip advisors with tools, resources, and practice at developing these deeper mentoring relationships. These sessions, led by the Center for Academic Success & Advising team, occur throughout the year and at the Fall Faculty Conference. Targeted development with professional advisors is provided in area meetings, as needed. Training with Navigate 360 continues for users as additional features are implemented.
