Abstract:
|
Government agencies, popular media, and sensationalizing higher education 'crisis novels' are leading many of our students to question the role of higher education before they arrive on campus. As a result, many students have misconceptions about the role of academic advising and the college major selection process. This interactive presentation will detail research on how popular media misrepresents higher education and academic advising. The resaerchers will share movie clips, quotes, and newscasts that showcase the misrepresentation and provide scholarly evidence that debunks many of these assertions. Audience members will engage with the material through small group discussions, worksheets, and surveys to share how or how not advisors can work with first-year students when they arrive on campus to properly detail the advising experience. |
