"I arrived at the Institute thinking about the transition from part-time to full-time advisors…my working group was amazing…helped me develop a specific action plan…four months later it’s approved and we are hiring our first group of full-time advisors! A fantastic experience and I look forward to coming back to work on my next challenge!"
David Goss, Director, Academic Advising & Planning Center
College of Charleston

"Our charge was to develop a university-wide advising plan. The faculty of the NACADA Institutes went out of their way to assist us with our charge. It is a rare occurrence to be able to pick the brains of so many of the nation’s leading experts in academic advising. I highly recommend the Institute for institutions who want to make significant improvement in their academic advising program."
Janet Spence, Director, University-Wide Advising Practice
University of Louisville
