"As a new advisor and faculty member at my institution, being awarded the NACADA Summer Institute Scholarship has made a monumental difference in how I view the advising process and my role as an advisor. Before attending the Institute, my understanding of the advising process reflected my own experiences receiving advising, as a college student twenty years ago. However, the NACADA Summer Institute quickly showed me that advising was no longer merely signing off on a class schedule form. Well planned and organized, the NACADA Institute offers an intense schedule of lectures, workshops, and group discussions that supports the learner in gaining confidence and understanding the many aspects of advising."

- Kara Becker, Henderson Community  College
