Workshop Description:

When you were a college student, how important was your advising appointment?  Were you ever a no-show?  As an advisor, how did you enter the profession?  How has the pandemic influenced your advising practices?  Many reports suggest students are struggling with engagementand motivation more than ever.  As advisors, in the face of our own challenges and student caseloads, how can we best assist our students? 

This workshop will allow advisors to reflect on their own higher education journey and how this reflection can inspire new perspectives about student wellness.

Workshop Description:

Educational institutions are awash in policies, acronyms, and unspoken norms that students must navigate. As advisors, we act as interpreters, the voice of the university spoken to students in language they understand. We are, primarily, communicators.

In this presentation, I'll demonstrate how advisors can increase the efficacy of our student-facing written or digital communications using communication design principles from the field of User Experience (UX) Research and Design.

Presenters: Kelly Craig, Academic Advisor, COI
