Successful Advising Tips

Do: Help them to see

alternatives and provide an outside perspective

Make sure to understand the importance of, and encourage OPEN DIALOGUE

Don’t: Only get to know the club

leaders Say you know, when you

don’t Use the club to promote your

agenda

Why Advise?

The Liability Myth “…institutions need to ensure that

student have the skills, support systems, and authority required to carry out [their] responsibilities successfully” (Ackerman, Werner, Vaccaro ed., 2005 p. 139).

YOU are that support system!! An advocate for THEIR purpose Retention Retention Retention!!!

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME!!

But most importantly, thank you for your

commitment to advising our students!
