Abstract:
|
Hello, I'm "Major-less"
Having a sense of belonging plays an important role in a student's academic persistence, so how can academic advisors help exploratory students persist when that sense of belongingness is absent? Without a major serving as a network, exploratory students can continue with or develop a fixed mindset, gravitating toward peers and activities familiar to them and can fall prey to isolation, depression, hours on their phone to friends/family and frequent trips home instead of diving deeper into exploring uncharted territory on campus. Utilizing advising as a growth mindset nexus for exploratory students, we can facilitate conversations to address the student's fixed mindset of only seeing what they do not have and cultivating a growth mindset to seek out the unknown and successfully navigate through college and beyond. |
