from Portsmouth - June 2004.     

"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
