Concept
of
Academic
Advising
The National Academic Advising
Association (NACADA) is comprised of professional and faculty
advisors, administrators, students, and others with a primary
interest in the practice of academic advising. With diverse
backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences, NACADA members
advise in a variety of settings and work to promote quality
academic advising within their institutions.
In 2005,
NACADA President Jo Anne Huber charged a Task Force chaired
by past NACADA Presidents Ruth Darling and Eric White to
develop an association's statement on academic advising,
The work of the Task Force was presented at all 10 NACADA
Region Conferences in Spring 2006 and the comments, recommendations,
and input from all members were incorporated into the Concept
of Academic Advising Statement approved by the Board of
Directors in October 2006.
Therefore,
the association statement is a result of extensive
grassroots member input and involvement. It is the intention
of the association to provide a useful document to its constituents,
reflecting as many of the current views and philosophies
of our members as possible. |
