Presentation Abstract
What qualities make a good advisor? Which advising strategies increase persistence and vocational satisfaction? This presentation will share findings from recent Andrews Advisor Evaluation Surveys, the first Andrews Alumni Advisor Reflection Survey and the presenters’ advising experience at Andrews University. The impact of developmental and servant leadership approaches to academic advising at undergraduate and graduate levels will be shared, along with specific strategies that support students identified as probationary, underprepared, online, and those with documented disabilities. Come be inspired by the advising stories of students and alumni; leave with strategies to recharge your advising commitment and skills.
