Colorado/Wyoming Advising Conference

The 2008 CO/WY Academic Advising Conference was a huge success. We had close to 160 people attend, which was a record setter. A majority of higher ed learning institutions were well represented and served to strike a balance with the variety of issues present in the advising field and also with professionals working in academic advising. We had a total of 24 presentations, which focused on the role of advising in student retention. Such a platform provided an opportunity to exchange ideas, develop new knowledge, broaden perspectives, and to network with other advising professionals. Our keynote speaker Geri Anderson, Provost for the Colorado Community College System, set the tone with her motivational, humorous and energetic keynote address. Everyone involved learned something of value and will be able to make a positive contribution to the overarching goal of improving student retention and student success.
