Abstract: "Rapidly changing technology has led to an evolution in best practices in higher education, especially in academic advising. This presentation will explore an innovative approach to fostering the advisor/advisee relationship beyond traditional emails. Data gathered by an advising unit at The University of Texas at Austin using a texting platform will be presented. Participants will learn how this advising unit used texting to drive increases in student engagement with advisors. Participants will leave this presentation understanding what kinds of concerns students text about with their advisor, and will further understand how utilizing technology for academic-based communications can improve educational and developmental outcomes for college students.
