From "Ugh" to "Ahhhh": Creating a sustainable orientation advising model

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2023 - 1:00 PM CDT (GMT-5)

picture of students sitting on steps Each summer, advisors are tasked with finding a way to advise a large number of incoming students while providing them with an experience that leaves each student feeling connected to their advisor. After years of increasing student numbers and a chaotic summer of 2020, our advisors felt overwhelmed and fatigued. In an effort to improve the experience for our advisors while maintaining an individualized experience for our students, we created an online hybrid advising program that consisted of group advising and one-on-one meetings.

In this session, advising administrators will share the challenges we experienced with previous versions of our orientation advising model, describe the online hybrid program that we created, and provide attendees with materials to replicate a similar program in their unit.
