August 30 | Best Practices: Advising Moving Forward

The Murrow Student Services team of professional academic advisors, took part in the 2 year pilot program known as the Equitable Advising Pilot. Sara Stout and Megan Starr-Gepford will share their experience with the pilot program; what worked and what didn’t work in regards to communication with students, appointment scheduling and tracking of student visits. They hope to help other WSU advisors problem solve to avoid some of the same struggles. Murrow advisors focused on the collaborative relationship of advising instead of the student actions of course selection and registration using the model of Advising as Teaching.

This training takes place from 9 -10 a.m. on Thursday, August 30.
