Abstract:
|
Improving student retention and supporting students on academic suspension requires a strategic, student-centered advising approach. This session explores how advisors can incorporate Motivational Interviewing (MI) techniques to foster student ownership, resilience, and informed decision-making during academic difficulty.
Participants will learn how to combine MI strategies with data-informed outreach using tools such as EAB Navigate 360 to proactively identify and support academically underperforming students. The presentation will highlight practical techniques that encourage self-reflection, strengthen intrinsic motivation, and align academic choices with professional interests through experiential learning opportunities.
Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to design personalized outreach plans, guide students toward academic recovery, and support progress toward degree completion. |
