About the Presentation
Presenter: Lindsay Miars
This session provides leadership with insight into faculty advisors' motivations, challenges, and current practices. Often there are diverse attitudes towards advising, with a majority of faculty advisors well-intentioned but struggling.
Faculty say they use the SSC Platform to quickly get up to speed, increase context and continuity, and create more productive conversations. The most common barriers to a data-driven approach include confidence in the data, belief in the benefits of a data-driven approach for student success, and how to maximize impact with limited time.
Watch our on-demand webconference, hosted by Lindsay Miars, to learn the top six strategies to engage faculty in advising with SSC, including sharing department-specific data and integrating proactive outreach into semester plans. You'll learn why not all advising interactions are created equal and how long periods of low activity can cause difficulty during peak advising periods.
This resource is part of the Reimagine Constituent Engagement for the 21st Century Roadmap. Access the Roadmap for stepwise guidance with additional tools and research.
Some of these six strategies for engaging faculty advisors include creating a faculty advisor resource hub, scheduled proactive outreach, departmental data review, and faculty advising protocols. In this webconference, we walk through key SSC resources and how to implement these strategies on your campus. We will also walk through a toolkit that includes member case studies, detailed process guides, outreach templates, and a catalog of additional tactics.
