New Advising Professionals Interest Group
Goals and Objectives
The initial goals that have been identified for this Interest
Group include:
-
To work in conjunction with NACADA to develop specific professional
development activities for new professionals in the advising
field. This includes looking at the “career path” of those in
advising, and developing conference sessions, tracks and conferences
and possibly stand-alone institutes for new advising professionals.
-
To identify current successful training opportunities, both
on local campuses and nationally and to develop new training/educational
opportunities.
-
To consider the development of a mentoring program for those
new in the advising profession.
-
To look at connections with other professional organizations
and other units within higher education.
-
To make a concerted effort to increase diversity by identifying
New Advising Professionals from underrepresented populations
and encouraging them to join the Interest Group and become involved
in NACADA.
