Welcome to NACADA's Global Advising Week webpage!  May 2, 1979 was the official date when articles of incorporation were signed creating NACADA. During the first week in May every year, we will celebrate the work of advisors, tutors, personal tutors, counselors and coaches that advise students around the world. This year we will celebrate NACADA Global Advising Week during May 2-8, 2021. This global celebration, co-sponsored by UKAT, LVSA & ELETSA, is our week to honor academic advising in its many impactful forms. All events for this week are free and open to all.
