Download or read book Student Organization Advising and Its Impact on Individual Student Leaders Student Organizations and Student Organization Advisors written by Jennifer Grossman Leopard and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the contributions student organization advisors make towards successful student organizations. The current research on student organization advising mainly consists of guidebooks or articles on specific types of student organization advising. Any current resources that are available are mainly grounded in anecdotal experiences, providing advisors with little guidance supported with empirical evidence.This study used a multi-case study research design focused on student organization advisors and student leaders from organizations recognized by a large, public, four-year, primarily residential, high research activity university. The advisors were chosen from a purposive sample of advisors who attended advisor workshops provided by the student affairs division. Highly structured interviews, observations, and document analysis were used for data collection. The results of this research confirmed findings from the current student organization advising literature that there are a variety of advisor approaches and roles and the fact that the student-advisor relationship can directly impact individual student development. This study also deepened the understanding of student organization advising. The findings show the various ways advisors impact individual student leaders through developing open-relationships and knowledge, skills and life strategies. The research also exhibited how advisors impact organizations through the various roles they fulfill. Finally, the study demonstrated that the act of advising a student organization impacts the advisor, as well. Advisors were impacted in that they found themselves setting and navigating personal and professional boundaries and determining when and when not to intervene. These results can be used to better inform and prepare advisors to help an organizations continued success.

Download or read book Academic Advising Approaches written by Jayne K. Drake and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-08-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strong academic advising has been found to be a key contributor to student persistence (Center for Public Education, 2012), and many are expected to play an advising role, including academic, career, and faculty advisors; counselors; tutors; and student affairs staff. Yet there is little training on how to do so. Various advising strategies exist, each of which has its own proponents. To serve increasingly complex higher education institutions around the world and their diverse student cohorts, academic advisors must understand multiple advising approaches and adroitly adapt them to their own student populations. Academic Advising Approaches outlines a wide variety of proven advising practices and strategies that help students master the necessary skills to achieve their academic and career goals. This book embeds theoretical bases within practical explanations and examples advisors can use in answering fundamental questions such as: What will make me a more effective advisor? What can I do to enhance student success? What conversations do I need to initiate with my colleagues to improve my unit, campus, and profession? Linking theory with practice, Academic Advising Approaches provides an accessible reference useful to all who serve in an advising role. Based upon accepted theories within the social sciences and humanities, the approaches covered include those incorporating developmental, learning-centered, appreciative, proactive, strengths-based, Socratic, and hermeneutic advising as well as those featuring advising as teaching, motivational interviewing, self-authorship, and advising as coaching. All advocate relationship-building as a means to encourage students to take charge of their own academic, personal, and professional progress. This book serves as the practice-based companion to Academic Advising: A Comprehensive Handbook, also from NACADA. Whereas the handbook addresses the concepts advisors and advising administrators need to know in order to build a success advising program, Academic Advising Approaches explains the delivery strategies successful advisors can use to help students make the most of their college experience.

Download or read book The Faculty Advisor written by Ronald Michael Lunk and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faculty serve in a variety of capacities within the university. One of the roles commonly held by faculty members is to engage with students through advising. Likewise, since the founding of the higher education system in the United States, student organizations play an integral part in the student experience on college campuses. Although faculty play an integral role with student organizations, and student organizations comprise an important part of the higher education landscape, no advising theories surrounding student organization advising currently exist. Borrowing from academic advising literature and associated theories as a guide, two types of advising, prescriptive and developmental, may provide an initial starting point for better understanding student organization advising practices. Developmental advising first appeared in 1972 by Crookston and was later elaborated on by O'Banion (1972). In 1982, Winston and Sandor developed an instrument to measure academic advising titled the Academic Advising Inventory (AAI), which determined, on a scale, whether the advisor's approach to advising presented as more prescriptive or developmental. This study used a modified Academic Advising Inventory, the Student Organization Advising Inventory, a 55-question survey including 14 demographic-type questions that provided insight into advising preference, common advising activities, and relationships between the style of advising and the advisors' demographics. The inventory was sent via Qualtrics email to 279 faculty advisors to student organizations at a large public university. Of those who received the survey, 74 (26.5%) advisors completed it. The study found that the participants preferred developmental advising techniques and that the most reported activities reported were discussing organization business such as meeting/programming topics, getting to know each other, signing forms, identifying other campus offices that can provide assistance, discussing extracurricular activities, discussing college policies, discussing officer succession, talking about what you are doing besides taking classes, and discussing bylaws or constitution requirements. The comparison between the advising style and each of the three demographic indicators did not yield a statistically significant relationship. There was no evidence of a relationship between the preferred advising style and sex, time at institution, or type of organization advised. Implications for practice include training, recruitment, and advising approach.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How campus communities of every kind can transform themselves from good to great Becoming Great Universities highlights ten core challenges that all colleges and universities face and offers practical steps that everyone on campus—from presidents to first-year undergraduates—can take to enhance student life and learning. This incisive book, written in a friendly and engaging style, draws on conversations with presidents, deans, and staff at hundreds of campuses across the country as well as scores of in-depth interviews with students and faculty. Providing suggestions that all members of a campus community can implement, Richard Light and Allison Jegla cover topics such as how to build a culture of innovation on campus, how to improve learning outcomes through experimentation, how to help students from under-resourced high schools succeed in college, and how to attract students from rural areas who may not be considering colleges far from their communities. They offer concrete ways to facilitate constructive interactions among students from different backgrounds, create opportunities for lifelong learning and engagement, and inspire students to think globally. And most of the ideas presented in this book can be implemented at little to no cost. Featuring a wealth of evidence-based examples, Becoming Great Universities offers actionable suggestions for everyone to have a positive impact on college life regardless of whether their campus is urban or rural, private or public, large or small, wealthy or not.
