Plenary Sessions, Concurrent Sessions, and Work Group sessions customized to your needs!
The Institute for Academic Advising experience is based on a week-long program providing you and/or your team the opportunity to develop a customized Action Plan based on needs at your particular institution. This process is facilitated by your active participation in all Plenary sessions and your choice of Concurrent sessions, and your participation in Work Groups lead by a Institute faculty member and a small group of participants from similar institutional types. Through these activities, you will develop a network of supportive colleagues.

Action Plans
|
You will prepare and present (in your Work 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 and individual consultations with institute faculty who have expertise in the area you have chosen.

Work Group Discussions
|
During these daily sessions, led by an institute faculty, you will discuss issues focusing on the general session topics, share ideas, and receive feedback on your ACTION PLAN.

|
Full Participation
|
Specific objectives are met by participating in every aspect of the institute, from the opening general session until the last presentation is made. Please plan your schedule accordingly.
When in-person, all meetings/sessions will be held at the Institute's Host Hotel unless noted otherwise.
