Abstract:
|
In a world where technology is rapidly advancing and society is increasingly concerned about artificial intelligence replacing human jobs, our objective is to provide empirical evidence, using a mixed-methods approach, to demonstrate how effective collaboration between faculty and professional advisors fosters student success and persistence. Our goal is to highlight the continued importance of human guidance provided by academic advisors, particularly amid rapid technological advances. We will present quantitative data through a logistic regression model, complemented by qualitative data through interviews to illustrate the critical role of academic advising. Additionally, we will highlight proactive initiatives such as an early action referral system and first-year experience courses at our institution to show how advisors foster a holistic approach to student success and to emphasize why our role remains essential. |
