Reaffirming
the Role of Faculty in Academic Advising
Editor: Gary L. Kramer
Authors: Susan H. Frost, Wesley R. Habley,
Margaret C. King, Faye N. Vowell, Eric R. White
While there is an
increasing involvement of faculty advising in academic departments,
there is evidence that the effectiveness of four critical variables
of the advising process is unsatisfactory. The areas of training,
accountability, evaluation, and recognition and reward are the most
significant methods through which advising can be improved but they
are the least focused components of most campus advising programs.
This monograph describes the engagement of faculty to bring about
vitality in these four areas of academic advising and provides a
better way to document, improve and evaluate faculty advising.

Advising
as a Comprehensive Campus Process
Editors: Robert E.
Glennen and Faye N. Vowell
37 contributing authors
Organized around
three general areas; administrative support services, academic advising
services, and student support services,
this monograph describes ways people in all parts of the institution
may serve as advisors , the kinds of interaction
to be expected among support services, and the role of
an institution that is formally charged with academic advising.
A compendium of practical approaches, the
authors offer a broad perspective of the relationship between advising
and a number of vital related campus
units. College administrators will find help in implementing advising
programs and professionals who
serve in advising and advising support roles will find innovative
suggestions to assist in helping students
with academic planning.

Increased awareness of disability issues
and rights has combined with other factors in producing an increased
number of students with disabilities now appearing within the post-secondary
educational system. These students often bring with them new challenges
for the academic advisor in terms of appropriate counseling and
advising, placement, and accommodations. This monograph examines
the aspects of advising directly related to these challenges. Both
basic and advanced issues confronted by the academic advisors in
working with students with disabilities are explored. Practical
and effective strategies which meet the needs of students with disabilities
are presented.

Advice to Students: A Road Map for College Professionals

R. (2004). Giving advice to students: A road map for college
professionals (R. Robbins, Ed.) [Monograph No. 11]. Manhattan,
KS: National Academic Advising Association.
All members of the academic community are potential advice givers
who want to help students map their own routes. However, many
on campus frequently fail to incorporate their implicit knowledge
about the academy into the thoughts they share with students.
Giving Advice to Students is designed to help campus professionals,
especially faculty and student affairs professionals, blend their
expertise to help students understand the underlying assumptions
that direct their education and to integrate their college experiences.
The monograph is useful as a training handbook and dialog stimulus
for professionals. Included essays can be reproduced as tip
sheets for students that can help make campus resources readily
accessible.

Students transferring from one institution
to another continue to be a significant part of our college populations,
and they consume considerable amounts of time and effort by advisors
at both two-year and four-year institutions. Transfer students constitute
a population that already brings some higher education experience
with them yet they are new to the transfer institution. This monograph
identifies many of the issues related to this population and provides
a wide range of potential services, programs, and other resources
that serve to strengthen the overall higher education experience
for transfers.

role on their campuses.
Monograph contents range from theory to design and delivery of a
peer advising program. Recruitment, selection and development of
peer advisors are highlighted; program budgets, assessment, and
evaluation suggestions are shared. Exemplary practices from across

and technology as key components of advising. Chapters also explore
academic advising before enrollment and beyond the advising office,
as well as the critical issue of advising assessment. The needs
of diverse populations of first-year students are also addressed.

to Assessment of Academic Advising
Susan Campbell, Charlie Nutt, Rich Robbins,
Mike Kirk-Kuwaye, and Lynne Higa.
NACADA introduces the Guide
to Assessment of Academic Advising on CD to assist institutions
with the development of a comprehensive assessment program for academic
advising at the unit, college, or institutional level. The Guide
focuses on the development of the vision, values, and mission for
academic advising as the foundation for any assessment program and
provides a step-by-step process for the development of goals and
advisor and student learning outcomes for advising. The Guide also
provides detailed assistance in the process of mapping the achievement
of outcomes across the undergraduate experience as well as a process
for measuring the achievement of the outcomes in the assessment
program. Sample worksheets are provided that can be utilized in
the development of an assessment program and can be reproduced for
campus use.
The NACADA Guide to Assessment
of Academic Advising is essential for any institution committed
to improving the quality of the advising experience through an intentional
and carefully developed plan of assessment.

The New Advisor
Guidebook: Mastering the Art of Academic Advising Through the First
Year & Beyond
Pat Folsom, Editor, with Ben Chamberlain,
Contributing Editor.
Article
discussing the monograph 
New academic advisors note that watching
a skilled veteran advisor with students is like watching an artist
at work. Their conferences are “jam-packed” with information,
yet have the ease and fluidity of a conversation. Until now becoming
an excellent advisor has been entirely an experiential journey.
Now there is a guidebook that can help new professionals master
the art of academic advising.
Insightful contributions from more than
30 academic advising professionals provide new advisors with the
essentials needed to help students grow and make the most out of
their college experiences. A professional growth chart helps new
professionals not just survive, but thrive, during their first year
and beyond. Exemplary Practices from across the country highlight
what colleges and universities can do to help new advisors succeed.
“Voices from the Field” commentaries in each chapter
offer reflections from new and experienced advisors on what it takes
to move from new hire to successful advising professional.

Advising
Special Populations: Adult Learners, Community College Students,
LGBTQ Students, Multicultural Students, Students on Probation, Undecided
Students
Linda Huff & Peggy Jordan, Editors
Academic advisors find themselves working
with an increasingly rich mix of students. These students negotiate
multiple issues related to their age and experience, sexual identity,
ethnic and racial background, level of academic success, community
college experience, and search for a major. Every institution numbers
in its ranks students who fit into one or more of these groups.
It is becoming increasingly important that academic advisors recognize,
understand, and address the needs of our special student populations.
Part of what makes these populations "special" is their
clearly defined set of characteristics and needs. Another part is
their academic advisors' dedication to acknowledging these particular
needs and addressing them fully and respectfully while understanding
that each individual is unique.
This monograph is designed to help advisors
understand students who may possess common strengths, challenges,
learning styles, history, academic and/or personal needs or other
characteristics. This monograph highlights the features of each
of the six special student populations represented, and offers advice
to academic advisors and advising program administrators about how
we can best serve/help these students.
