Intrusive Advising

Intrusive Advising, defined by the work of Robert Glennen, takes developmental advising theory one step further. Intrusive advising is proactive. Programs utilizing intrusive advising build structures that incorporate intervention strategies mandating advising contacts for students who otherwise might not seek advising.
