Abstract:
|
Unfortunately, some students encounter difficulties while pursuing their chosen major. Often, these difficulties are insurmountable, perhaps leading to the student's removal from the major. Many of these students opt to leave school, not knowing of other available options. There are a number of issues that must be considered and addressed when advising these students as they learn of their options to continue their education while coming to terms with their predicament. This session will focus on strategies to help the student overcome the emotional impact of their situation, take stock of the issues which led to the mandated change, and to move on, as well as how to help them consider new areas of study. |
