ONE-DAY WORKHSOP
The purpose of this one-day workshop is to introduce participants to key concepts related to student success in college and how academic advising and career planning/development play integral roles in supporting this success. During this workshop, Dr. Nutt will set the stage for understanding academic advising and career development/planning as integral parts of the successful student experience, from the point of admission through graduation. Participants will:
- develop an operational definition of student success;
- identify key outcomes for student learning that support the student success definition; and
- identify intentional academic advising and career development/planning experiences through which students might achieve the identified learning outcomes.
By the end of the workshop, participants will have a programmatic framework for the design and assessment of an intentional, integrated, and outcomes-based academic advising and career planning program. This framework will include the important delineation of roles and responsibilities for effective mentoring of students. The roles of faculty members and professional staff members will be addressed through the identification of best practices. Those continuing to participate throughout the week will also be exposed to more indepth information regarding career planning/development and how technology can be used to effectively connect with students. Friday of the Institute will be used as a time to synthesize and share frameworks and plans.
