Abstract:
|
In 2018 our Academic Advising Center formed the Beyond120 program, which facilitates the professional development and experiential learning of undergraduates. The program has grown to offer a wide variety of opportunities to help students both plan for their professional lives as well as articulate the value of their skills and experiences to future employers. This presentation will discuss the development and components of the program, how the program has increased the accessibility of experiential learning, promoted professional development for advisors, and ideas for how other advising offices can enhance experiences and skill development for both their students and their advisors. The presentation will also include student perspectives for how a model like the Beyond120 program can ultimately increase positive student perception of academic advising. |
