Workshop Description: 

What does it truly mean to be an academic advisor? This foundational workshop explores academic advising as a teaching and learning process through the lens of the NACADA definition and conceptual framework. Participants will examine the scope and purpose of academic advising, distinguish advising from related student support roles, and explore the foundational pillars that guide effective advising practice, including student learning, student success, and holistic development. Through discussion, reflection, and application, advisors will develop a shared understanding of the profession and how these foundational principles inform their daily work with students. 

NACADA Core Competency alignment: 

• Conceptual Competency 

• Informational Competency 

• Relational Competency
