SI Scholarship Recipient states, "As a new advisor and faculty member at my institution, being awarded the NACADA Summer Institute Scholarship has made a monumental difference in how I view the advising process and my role as an advisor. Before attending the Institute, my understanding of the advising process reflected my own experiences receiving advising, as a college student twenty years ago. However, the NACADA Summer Institute quickly showed me that advising was no longer merely signing off on a class schedule form. Well planned and organized, the NACADA Institute offers an intense schedule of lectures, workshops, and group discussions that supports the learner in gaining confidence and understanding the many aspects of advising. During the institute, my colleagues and I were able to brainstorm and share experiences with participants from across the country and around the globe. Being together for a week with a central focus and supported by NACADA advising experts the Summer Institute allowed our group the time and resources to develop long term plans to achieve the advising experiences we want for our students. This is a goal that cannot be accomplished in just a day-long or even weekend-long conference. NACADA and its abundant resources make us confident that we will succeed in this mission." |
