Krech (The
University of Memphis), 2008
SI Scholarship Recipient states,
"NACADA provides excellent opportunities
for professional development and networking through regional
and national conferences, but the Summer Institute I attended
was by far my favorite and most valued NACADA experience
yet. The opportunity to hear the excellent talks and discussions
on advising topics offered by the Institute facilitators
provided a short course in advising not to be missed!
Concentrating on all of these advising topics for the
ways they connected with and influenced the action plan
I was working on for faculty advisor professional development
gave me the chance to explore my plan from all angles.
Having the guidance of a group leader and a small group
to question and share with provided me with even more
feedback to enhance the plan. By receiving the Summer
Institute Scholarship, I was able to take advantage of
this wonderful opportunity to develop the plan in a lovely
location with many other dedicated, experienced professionals
as my advisors . Unlike a conference, the Institute
was a time to explore in more depth, to reflect on my
beliefs and goals, and to recharge my enthusiasm while
developing an even greater appreciation of the role of
advisors in the lives of our college students." |
