Abstract:
|
It's not you, it's me: Working with Major Changers as Department-Specific Advisors
Not everyone will find your major a good fit, but you're still their advisor: most importantly, they are still your students! Join us as we discuss the reasons why students change majors, how to facilitate difficult conversations surrounding major changes, and share best practices to help students find the major that suits them best-- even if it wasn't their initial first choice. We will explore major change trends and how to utilize popular advising techniques such as motivational interviewing and proactive advising. We'll also explore how major decisions have been impacted by the pandemic. Above all, this session will provide a space to discuss how we can effectively advise students through the transition out of our department. |
