NACADA
Leadership Development
Charlie
Nutt, NACADA
This
session is designed for NACADA current leaders and members recently
elected to serve in any leadership role within the association,
either on a state, regional or national level and including commission
and committee chairs as well as regional steering committees, or
anyone interested in leadership in the Association. Participants
will be provided with a brief background on the Association’s governance
model and an overview of their new responsibilities as a NACADA
leader. Current and past leaders will be available to answer questions
and give guidance on how they handle(d) their positions. Other members
with an interest in future leadership roles within NACADA are welcome
to attend to get an idea of how they might like to get involved.

Divine
Secrets of the Yeah-Yeah Advisorhood
Kimberly
Bright, Southern Methodist University
"The
Divine Secrets of the Yeah-Yeah Advisorhood" is designed to
help participants revisit: 1-who they are, 2-what's important to
them, and 3-what their dreams are. Each participant will create
a board with items 1-3 on the board. Then, each participant will
share with other workshop attendees what is on the board. This is
a great way to get acquainted with other advisors in the region.
The visual aids (board) help participants remember something very
specific about each advisor as they describe what is on the board.
There will also be time for each participant to receive positive
feedback and support from other participants. After the workshop,
the participants can place the boards in their office and use it
as a springboard of conversation with students. Student will ask
on seeing the board (which will look a collage), what's that. The
advisor can then describe items 1-3 and, as a natural lead-in, can
then ask the student, what's important to you? What are your dreams?
This leads into great discussions very important to academic coaching.

inquiry questions, selecting appropriate methodology, conducting
literature reviews, and finding support for your inquiry process.
Additionally, participants will discuss potential NACADA Research

the criteria by which they are judged. Participants will better

Writing
for NACADA: The NACADA Journal, Academic Advising Today, Clearinghouse,
and Monographs
Regina
Waters, Drury University
Marsha
Miller, Kansas State University and NACADA Executive Office
There
are many opportunities to write for NACADA. Authors from the
ranks of advising practitioners, faculty advisors, researchers,
and theorists appear in NACADA publications. While NACADA publishes
books, video-dvd-cds, and brochures, the primary focus in this session
will be to describe the purpose, content, and writing guidelines
for the NACADA Journal, Academic Advising Today, the NACADA Clearinghouse
of Academic Advising Resources, and monographs. Whatever your
interests in professional writing, this session will help you understand
the various writing opportunities within NACADA. (.2 CEU Research

Faculty
Expectations on Video
Bob
Rozzelle, Wichita State University
Entering students may not have
realistic ideas of faculty expectations for student responsibility
and performance. Early exposure to faculty will help students grasp
the importance of learning to adapt to diverse approaches of our faculty
and their disciplines. We asked a number of faculty to share with
students why they teach, what they hope students gain from their teaching
and how students can best prepare to be successful in their classes.
The taped sessions provide students with flexible access to this important
information and we do not have to request repeat faculty appearances
for classes. These sessions are available on DVD for classrooms or
QuickTime so they can be viewed through BlackBoard. An iPod option
also is available. Participants will view selected videos, respond
to each and discuss applications. (.2 CEU the Helping Relationship)
