NACADA's Annual Academic Advising Summer Institutes

Action Plan

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. Below are some topics and descriptions of Action Plans that have been proposed and developed at previous Summer Institutes.

Early Alert Program
We have planned an Early Alert process with short-term goals of developing an online form that will alert us to students experiencing difficulty, assess the use of this form, and collect data to analyze our ongoing needs. Our long-term goal is to determine whether we need to move to an integrated Early Alert software system.
