Academic decisions are often complex, with students considering multiple factors in their life and future plans with limited or changing information. We can help them navigate these decisions by being informed by current theories, being familiar with resources, policies, and procedures, and being practiced in useful strategies and tools to use in academic conversations. This workshop will blend learning about theories, with case studies, discussions, and time to practice new skills.

Learning Outcomes:

Learners will be able to:

• Introduce evidence-based interventions appropriate to current student needs.
• Apply client-appropriate theories relevant to academic advising to inform advising conversations such as Appreciative Inquiry, decision-making, motivation, and psychological needs.
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of academic resources and information including academic disciplines and programs, policies and procedures, and tools like transcripts, degree audits, and accommodations.
• Maintain awareness and proficiency with latest technology platforms and tools related to career development, academics, and effective service delivery.
