PRE-CONFERENCE Events
R1PC01 - "Finding the Time to Look “Over the Hedge:” a Supervisor Guide "
Rodney Mondor University of Southern Maine
10:00am - 12:00pm - $25
We constantly face the pressure of “doing more for less.” It is important that we take the time to motivate and appreciate our staffs as well as address issues that arise. But in the day to day hustle and bustle, we never seem to have the time to look “Over the Hedge” and see beyond. Who is succeeding? Who might be struggling? Have you set professional goals to challenge your staff or are they on auto-pilot.
Now is the time to invest in the future of your staff. Take a look at what will motivate your staff to not only succeed, but excel. As the supervisor, you need to balance setting the course and motivating your staff.
R1PC02 - "A Primer on Developmental Advising"
Patrick Cate Plymouth State University
10:00am - 12:00pm - $25
This preconference session is designed for new advisors who are not as familiar with developmental advising and the field of advising, seasoned professionals who would like a refresher and anyone who wants to learn about the history, theories and have a chance to practice what we do. The workshop will start by examining an overview of the history of higher education, how advising has been a part of it and what are trends that affect us today. Next we will explore theories and theorists that are often cited in advising literature and conversation. We will end with an opportunity to practice.
