Abstract:
|
In December of 1957, Buddy Holly and the Crickets played on the nationally televised Arthur Murray Dance Party and were cordially introduced to the show's very conservative audience as, 'Rock and Roll specialists.' Over the last six decades, rock musicians have played roles very similar to those of today's academic advisors: standing at the crossroads of cultures, speaking to groups with often competing perspectives and priorities, and managing it with a style and flair all their own. Rock out with us as we explore the unexpected similarities between our very own field of academic advising and one of the defining art forms of the contemporary world through the fascinating lens of social exchange theory! #advisorsrock |
