Abstract:

This presentation explores the unique experiences of an academic advisor who began their career at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Launched into a virtual environment, the advisor faced challenges in establishing rapport, understanding student needs, and adapting traditional advising practices to a remote setting. This presentation will delve into the specific challenges encountered, including navigating technology limitations, supporting students experiencing unprecedented stress and uncertainty, and fostering a sense of community in a virtual landscape. Furthermore, it will highlight the innovative solutions developed, the unexpected benefits of remote advising, and the personal growth experienced. Through this lens, the presentation aims to offer valuable insights for advisors navigating similar challenges, both during and beyond the pandemic. |
