Abstract:
|
Are current academic advisor handoffs truly supporting students, or are we dropping the baton? Whether an advisor leaves their position, or a student is transitioning between majors or from an exploratory advisor to a major-specific advisor, students rarely meet with only one advisor throughout their undergraduate career. Yet, the handoffs between academic advisors are an under-discussed topic in the academic advising profession. Therefore, this presentation will focus on providing practical suggestions rooted in the Appreciative Advising theory-to-practice framework for 'passing' advisors and 'receiving' advisors to increase the effectiveness of advisor handoffs for students. After all, advisors are on the same relay team and committed to minimizing the impact of advisor transitions so that students can seamlessly continue their academic journey. |
