"Unfortunately, precedent, convenience, and expedience are often the principles behind the organization and delivery of advising services on many campuses. The full potential of quality advising will not be realized without the careful alignment of mission, goals, structure, and delivery."
Margaret King, EdD
~ Webinar Presenter
Successful academic advising programs do not just happen. They are based on carefully laid plans that focus on student success. This session will focus on five critical planning elements including: 1) developing an advising mission statement that derives from the institutional mission statement; 2) understanding how advising integrates with other services; 3) identifying relevant goals and objectives for advising; 4) identifying an organizational model best-suited to goal achievement; and 5) delineating how advising services will be delivered.
Objectives

What is a webinar?
A webinar is an interactive seminar conducted over the web and is typically 1.5 to 2 hours long.
What is the process? Webinar participants log into the webinar site with a username and password sent via email. Participants can print handouts, as we send you a link to the presentation via email approximately 2 days prior to the event. Once logged in, you are able to see the PowerPoint slides, ask questions and make comments via chat, very similar to instant messaging. Is there a recording available? Approximately one week after the conclusion of the webinar, you will receive a link to the recording which is yours for one year and can be forwarded to all faculty and staff at your institution for viewing anytime, anywhere.
What equipment is required? An Internet connection, computer speakers and LCD projector if a large group is present.
What are the benefits of a webinar?
