As a Summer Institute participant, you are given the opportunity to prepare and present (in your discussion group) an ACTION PLAN for solving an advising challenge on your campus. The scope of the action plan is left up to you. The scope may be as narrow as devising a new form or as broad as proposing a new model for delivery of advising on your campus or recommending the use of new technology. You will receive assistance with this project by attending relevant sessions, group discussions, and group & individual consultations with institute facilitators who have expertise in the area you have chosen.  Below are some topics and descriptions of Action Plans that have been proposed and developed at previous Summer Institutes.
