Academic Advising Consultants and Speakers Service

Steps to Hiring a Consultant

Please be aware that our consultants are senior administrators at their universities and have full schedules. Because of their campus obligations our consultants usually need at least two months or more notice in order to set up a campus visit.

  1. Identify the advising areas(s) of need or interest for your institution. Because it is often difficult to pinpoint specific advising needs, the NACADA Executive Office provides assistance with this needs identification through an intake interview.
    Click here to fill in the Keynote Request or Audit/Review Request forms or email nacada@ksu.edu for more information.
  2. Complete the request form and submit it to the Executive Office.
  3. The Executive Office sends focused resumes and an Agreement Form via email for qualified consultants whom NACADA recommends based on your request and needs.
  4. Select a consultant from the resumes, complete the Agreement Form, and return it to the Executive Office.
  5. Executive Office confirms with the consultant his/her availability for the date(s) you have requested. If the consultant agrees to the offer, he/she signs the Agreement Form and copies are sent to the institution and the consultant. This Agreement Form outlines the consulting charges to which the institution is agreeing.
  6. After the agreement has been signed, you will prepare material in advance for the consultant and forward it to him/her.
  7. Following the consultancy, you are to evaluate the consultation and send the evaluation form to the Executive Office.

"Everything the consultant did was helpful. As one participant wrote on the conference evaluation form, 'I enjoyed working with the consultant. In addition to a wonderful keynote, I appreciated her genuineness and approachability'."   Jesse Jones, President, North Texas Community College Consortium
