Connect to Your Core: The Values of Academic Advising
Wednesday, June 17th
10:00am to 12:00pm
Lubar S171
Presenters: Gricelda Estrada, Brian Williams & Pamela Schoessling
How does one define effective advising in the ever evolving environment that is higher education? Understanding the Advising Core Values as defined by National Academic Advising Association (NACADA) is essential as dialog continues to build regarding the values, the characteristics and the competencies necessary for academic advising. The presenters will actively engage the participants as they examine and expand on the six core values developed in accordance with NACADA and CAS standards research. Through interactive small group discussion, the audience will have an opportunity to explore the application of these core values within their respective departments and their personal advising style. Advisors arrive, to their respective college at UWM, with different levels of knowledge, comfort and skill sets; the core values present an opportunity to better understand advisor responsibilities and enhance each person’s ultimate desire to serve their students.
