Title: Beyond the Numbers: The Importance of Narratives in Advising
Lead Presenter: Anna Hegedus
Date: October 01, 2018    Time: 10:15 am - 11:15 am
Room: N 227 A
Abstract: As colleges face growing pressure for accountability from stakeholders, advisors are increasingly being asked to play the role of data scientist. Though data and predictive analytics can provide valuable insight for our efforts with students, using this data without considering real student experiences presents an incomplete picture. Building relationships with students, learning their complex stories, and helping them pursue meaningful goals are critical parts of the advising role, yet they are pieces that are often omitted when we rely solely on data. In this session, attendees will reflect on the value of stories in advising, consider how stories can work in conjunction with data, and develop time-efficient strategies for incorporating narrative approaches into advising practice within a larger data-driven culture.
