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.
