Two things you need to know about working with Graduate and Professional Students:

1. The advising needs of post-baccalaureate students are no less complex than that of undergraduate learners and these needs are underpinned by an expansive body of adult learning theory and literature ripe for application.
2. The field of graduate, doctoral, and professional student advising and support is growing rapidly. Thus, the need for this professional community is ever more needed.
