Advisors

Welcome to the Advisor section of this website! This area contains…
  • NACADA – information about the National Academic Advising Association with handy links to get you started.
  • A new advisor checklist to help guide you in learning what you need to know to improve your advising practice and to advance your career.
  • My Theories and Approaches towards academic advising as an example for what you can do. Even if you do not think so, you are using an approach to advising students — it is more effective to do so consciously, rather than randomly.
  • Creating a personal philosophy of academic advising. I share my philosophy as an example. Your philosophy will be completely different.
  • An academic advising syllabus. This is a contract between the advisor and the student — it communicates what can be expected by both the advisor and the advisee.
  • Diagrams of advising information I created when studying for a M.S. in Academic Advising from Kansas State University.
  • Side projects I have undertaken related to academic advising. I hope you find them interesting and inspires you in starting your own projects.
  • Masters of Science in Academic Advising from Kansas State University.

“Developmental counseling or advising is concerned not only with a specific personal or vocational decision but also with facilitating the student's rational processes, environmental and interpersonal interactions, behavioral awareness, and problem-solving, decision-making, and evaluation skills.” – Crookston, 1972

“Academic advising is the only structured service on the campus in which all students have the opportunity for on-going, one-to-one contact with a concerned representative of the institution.” - W. R. Hably
