Monograph in the works! |
Does
your campus have an exemplary development program
for new professional academic advisors?
Now is the time to be recognized.
NACADA
has started work on an upcoming monograph focusing on the
initial and extended development of professionals whose
primary responsibilities are academic advising and who are
new to the profession. This monograph, to be published in
the fall of 2006, will be edited by Pat Folsom
(The University of Iowa) and Ben Chamberlain
(Iowa State University). Pat, Ben, and a
review team made up of new and experienced advisors are
currently planning for this publication. This monograph
will provide new academic advisors and their administrators
with valuable guidance as well as highlight exemplary programs
and resources.
Your
assistance is needed to identify exemplary programs and
resources that can be included in the monograph. To
nominate a program or resources see the application
guidelines. Nominations will be accepted
through February 24.
This is a wonderful opportunity to gain recognition for
your program or resource.
