Abstract:
|
Join us as we share secrets from our diaries about life as virtual advisors. In focusing on the six phases of appreciative advising theory, learn how we support students who are balancing work, family, and academics. With the rise of online learners, it is crucial that advisors are equipped with tools to be successful in an online environment, especially for advisor and student well-being. We will cover:
1) Transition Support & Effective Communication: Helping admitted students smoothly onboard into graduate programs from admission to completion by streamlining messaging using various enterprise systems.
2) Building Student Relationships and Fostering a Sense of Belonging: Facilitating engagement through flexible scheduling and virtual creative touchpoints for prospective, admitted, and current student connections.
3) Virtual Advisor Community: Establishing support networks through coffee talks and icebreakers, training opportunities, and professional development.
You'll leave with practical strategies for your own advisor diaries to help you and your students thrive. |
