Advising ‘Outside the Box’

While the world was tackling COVID-19, we had an advising vision. We wanted to make sure...

  • our students didn’t fall through the cracks but received the support / advising when they needed it
  • our students had access to resources being developed  
  • our students didn’t miss out on any opportunities to stay connected  
  • our students were empowered to take ownership of their academic & professional path 

Guided by appreciative advising theory, we found a way to make this happen.  We’ll be telling you about the steps we took to reach out to and engage students and the feedback we received from them. We’ll also be sharing, from data we collected, what we learnt about this group of students and their academic journey. This is our story.
