As a Summer Institute
participant, you are given the opportunity to prepare and present
(in your discussion 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 & individual consultations with
institute facilitators who have expertise in the area you have chosen.
