Abstract:
|
Many students start college expecting to graduate in four years, but life doesn't always follow a perfect timeline, and that's completely normal. Some students change majors, work full-time, take breaks, or face personal challenges that extend their academic journey. As advisors, how do we support students who feel like they're 'behind'? This session will dive into how we can support students who are navigating a longer path to graduation, helping them shift their perspective and find confidence in their own journey. We'll talk about using personal stories, real-world example and practical advising techniques to show students that timelines are flexible and success looks different for everyone. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to empower students to move forward with clarity and confidence. |
