Abstract:
|
Students who cannot continue in a STEM major and are transitioning to the Humanities face numerous challenges and need additional support and encouragement. Without skilled guidance from an academic advisor, transitioning students risk dismissal from the university or abandoning their degree. Advisors can significantly impact retention and degree completion for transitioning students by proactively employing good interview techniques and making strategic referrals.
This workshop will show you how to (1) identify students who are transition candidates; (2) guide students, through careful interviewing techniques and strategic referrals, to recognize their strengths and (re)frame career and academic goals that align with those strengths; and (3) restore students' belief that they can be successful and have satisfying careers outside of a STEM major. |
