Charlie Nutt NACADA Executive Director cnutt@ksu.edu 785 532 5717 Reimagining Academic Advising to Support A Culture of Success Region VI Winnipeg 2017 Charlie Nutt NACADA Executive Director cnutt@ksu.edu 785 532 5717

We are all faced with a series of great opportunities – brilliantly disguised as unsolvable problems. (John W. Gardner, Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare under President Lyndon Johnson)

Our Shared Goal: Student Success “Retention is a by-product of a good educational experience.” Vincent Tinto Leaving College: Rethinking the Causes and Cures of Student Attrition, 1993.

Student Success in College, 2005. Advising is viewed as a way to connect students to the campus and help them feel that someone is looking out for them. George Kuh (Indiana University Bloomington Student Success in College, 2005. Advisors are interpreters who help students navigate their new world. As such, academic advisors have to make connections. Nancy King Kennesaw State University

Principles for Advising What Students Deserve Informational Guidance Intellectual Mentorship Developmental Relationships Brett McFarlane, Ed.D – Executive Director of Academic Advising UC Davis

Advisors Aid Students in Understanding the amount of time needed to study vs. their expectations what a particular program of study or course involves vs. their perception The college culture vs. their high school experience

Advising should be at the core of the institution’s educational mission rather than layered on as a service. Robert Berdahl 1995

In his recent work “Academic Advising In Higher Education: A Place at the Core” (2015), Eric White, former President of NACADA: “the purposes of academic advising accommodate all students so that they can make reasoned demands as they set and enact the goals of their lives”p. 270 The Journal of General Education: A Curriculum Commons of the Humanities and Sciences, 2015

Advising Teaches Students to: Craft their own education Understand the path they have chosen Use the skills and knowledge in work Create a culture of learning around their undergraduate experience Engage in their education, transforming the educational experience to reach passions – not just jobs

Being Learning Focused Involves Understanding Is the learning liberating or transactional? What the student is learning How is the student learning? Is he/she applying his/her learning How the current learning positions the student for future learning?

In the new text The Undergraduate Experience: Focusing Institutions on What Matters Most (2016), the editors state that for institutions wanting to enhance the undergraduate education, we have all we need – optimism, patience, teamwork, and muscle – there are no quick fixes, gimmicks or magic bullets Felton, P., Gardner, J., Schroeder, C., Lambert, L., Barefoot, B. (2016) Jossey Bass

What Matters Most? Everyone should be motivated to learn – students, faculty, and administrators – creating a culture of learning – not compliance Relationships of all kinds Clear and high expectations that are intentionally set and clearly communicated Alignment of resources, policies, and practices Assessment of learning in all areas Leadership at all levels (not just at the top) share a common vision and purpose

What is Leadership? “Leadership is an influence relationship among leaders and followers [constituents] who intend real changes that reflect their mutual purposes” (p. 102). Rost, 1993

Role of a Leader Establish a clear vision, Sharing that vision with others Providing information, knowledge, and methods to realize that vision Coordinating and balancing the conflicting interests of all members and stakeholders A leader steps up times of crisis and is able to think and act creatively with facts and data

“Leadership is not about being in charge “Leadership is not about being in charge. Leadership is about taking care of those in your charge” Simon Sinek

"Without data you're just another person with an opinion." W. Edwards Deming, Data Scientist

STUDENT ENGAGEMENT Reported as a barrier by 88% of stakeholders, Student Engagement is the highest priority for institutions with high technology adoption that have tackled issues around capabilities and process.

Barriers to Improving Planning and Academic Advising Out of 1,096 respondents, the lack of student engagement with the technology and resources is identified as highest barrier to improving academic advising: 30% - Significant Barrier 58% - Moderate Barrier 12% - Not a Barrier

What measurements are developed to assess the impact of new strategies What measurements are developed to assess the impact of new strategies? Who is involved in developing these measures? Are these institutional wide or unit by unit? How are the results of the measurements communicated? How are the results utilized? Who is involved in this process? What changes are made based on the results? Are these changes incorporated into future analysis?

Data Sources What institution data is utilized in measuring student engagement with academic advising? Institution wide? Unit by Unit? How are academic advisors involved? Primary advisors? Faculty advisors? Institution wide? Unit by Unit? How are students involved? Institution wide? Unit by unit? How is institutional data communicated? What role do cabinet level administrators play in the analysis and utilization of institutional data? What other administrators are included?

How do you define student success. How do you define retention How do you define student success? How do you define retention? How does your campus define each of these terms? The literature continues to support an important role for academic advising in student success and retention. In what ways is academic advising considered important to your campus plan for student success and/or retention? As an administrator, how might you add support to or make the case for academic advising as a strategic initiative for enhancing student success and/or retention?

Consider the students and the student experience(s) on your campus Consider the students and the student experience(s) on your campus. How would you describe the nature of that/those experience(s) on your campus and how might academic advising be utilized to strengthen that/those experience(s)? What are your ideas for action?

According to the Merriam- Webster Dictionary REFORM To put or change into an improved form or condition To amend or improve by change of form or removal of faults or abuses To become changed for the better
