Advising You, the Advisor
Research has demonstrated that one of the most powerful influences on student persistence
in college is individual attention from faculty members. Students frequently judge
the worth of their academic experience from their interactions with faculty members.
In a national survey, college presidents ranked academic advising as a leading factor
in student retention, and improving academic advising has been one of the most frequently
cited strategies to increase student retention in the past decade. Academic advising
can positively influence the educational and personal development of students.
