Abstract:
|
College can feel like an unpredictable adventure, and academic advisors are often tasked with helping students find their way through it. In many ways, advisors are like Dungeon Masters (DMs) in Dungeons & Dragons (D&D): we guide the journey, set the scene, and help students navigate challenges, but the students are the ones making the decisions and shaping their story.
This session uses the world of D&D as a fun and creative way to think about advising. We'll discuss how advisors act as Dungeon Masters, setting the stage and guiding the journey, while students take the lead as the protagonists of their own stories.
You don't need to know how to play D&D to join us, just bring your sense of curiosity. You'll walk away with fresh strategies to support student growth, increase engagement, and make advising feel more collaborative. Most importantly, you'll be reminded that while we may help guide the journey, our students are the true authors of their college experience. |
