Abstract:
|
We know that quality advising plays an important role in supporting retention and graduation initiatives, but turnover among academic advisors is higher than for other university staff positions (Brantley & Shomaker, 2021; Elliott, 2020). What factors contribute to advisors leaving the profession? What can universities do to retain them? In this interactive presentation, we will report on findings from a study of 56 former academic advisors regarding the reasons they left the profession, where they are now, and what could have persuaded them to stay in advising. Join us to learn our findings and engage in a discussion on how to retain advisors. |
