Camp Kendall Session - Advising Through TransitionsAugust 16, 2022 at 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Advising Through Transitions
Tuesday, August 16, 9 am to 4 pm in the St Peter Room
Advising has always involved transition: student’s transition from high school to college, from FTS/3CC advisor to a major advisor, between advisors (due to sabbaticals, retirements, etc.); faculty transition from one advising load to another as students declare or change majors. In recent years, everyone has faced additional transitions between curricula, advising processes, and registration systems. This one-day workshop, held in collaboration between FTS, ASC, and the Kendall Center, aims to strengthen faculty’s capacity for Advising Through Transitions. Attendees in this workshop will learn about the current processes for critical advising transitions in order to support students through their transitions to Gustavus and within the College, and they will practice reviewing students’ course plans (schedules), progress reports (degree audits), and timelines (4-year plans) to better understand requirements and common considerations and pitfalls. In doing so, attendees will also adapt and practice a process for using current advising tools when advising students. Facilitated by Lauren Hecht
