"I
loved the roundtable discussions! This was the greatest
professional development experience I have had in higher
education!" Robert P. Lukaskiewicz
- Norwich University
"I
developed a framework for thinking about advising and
realized I could influence change on our campus in small
ways. The NACADA facilitators were uniformly positive,
creative, and knowledgeable individuals." Meighan
Sharp - Emory & Henry College
"At no other conference have I felt that I was surrounded
by so much knowledge, experience, insight, and support!"
Nikki A. Dyer - J. Sargent Reynolds
Community College
"I wanted to be able to address at-risk student retention.
At the conference we met lots of great people with numerous
resources." Gail Okun -
Berkeley College
"This was a very valuable, practical experience.
Well worth time and money!" Joyce
Guthrie - James Madison University
"I received concrete methods, samples, and outstanding
advice for moving ahead at my home institution."
Suzanne Walker - Marietta College
"My satisfaction with the program is quite high.
I got a chance to network w/ colleagues, learn some new
material, and was inspired to discuss issues in depth.
It helps to extrapolate informal & formal interactions
to my own institution. I certainly achieved my goals."
Clayton Schwenn - University
of Washington
"Wonderful & highly recommended for anyone related
to student affairs or success, not just advisors &
Deans." Jacque Dozier -
Auburn University
"The Summer Institute is a must for all faculty
and professional advisors. Being immersed in advisory
issues and practices with colleagues from around the country
was invaluable! The opportunity to talk with leaders in
the field, to challenge and have our own beliefs challenged
was rewarding. I leave with a new appreciation for the
field and colleagues across the nation that I can contact
when I have an advisory issue. The best professional development
experience I've had in 15 years in higher ed! The institute
is an advisors' vacation; challenging, empathetic, rigorous,
intellectual, supportive, demanding, informative, and
fun." Karen Sullivan-Vance
- Oregon State University
