NACADA Resources

“Good advising may be the single most underestimated

characteristic of a successful college

experience.”Richard Light

Making the Most of College (2001)

NACADA Resources

“Advising is viewed as a way to connect students to the campus and help them feel that someone is looking out for them.”

George KuhStudent Success in

College (2005)

NACADA Resources

“Advisors are interpreters who help students navigate their new world. As such, academic advisors have to make connections.”

Nancy KingNACADA Summer Institute on Academic Advising

NACADA Resources

Three components of quality advising

Informational What advisors need to know; includes

internal and external environment, student needs, & advisor self knowledge.

Relational The skills advisors need to possess in

order to do their jobs effectively

Conceptual What advisors must understand

NACADA Resources

“Without understanding (conceptual elements) there is no context for the delivery of service. Without information, there is no substance to advising. And without interpersonal skills (relational), the advisee/advisor interaction is left to chance.”

addressed? 4. How do we go about helping this student? What type of approach do

you want to take with this student and why? 5. What are some of the referrals that might be made? What are some
