Academic Advising in an Era of Instant Gratification:
The Pathway to Empowerment (New):
Higher education professionals are called upon to recognize the new experiences students face as they transition into college during their first year. As students learn to think and act for themselves, instead of relying upon authority figures to prescribe their choices, they encounter increased responsibility for their own learning and growth. While navigating new academic systems, traditionally-aged students also move through the initial stages of Chickering’s 7 Vectors of psycho-social development. As new college students develop competence, learn to manage their emotions, and move through autonomy to interdependence, they can lay a strong foundation for academic success.
In the NACADA Advising First-Year Students Community-sponsored webinar, the Presenters will consider ways to support students as they move through this important transition year, discovering new identities and setting goals for their personal and academic futures. Since students’ movements through these vectors are unique, advisors’ awareness of these stages fosters effective understanding of and communication with students in the first year.
The Presenters will also discuss ways to facilitate the learning and reflection process, based on Baxter Magolda’s Theory of Self-Authorship (2004) and Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory (1984), in a variety of student meeting settings. They will share strategies to promote the transformative power of guided reflection and value-exploration through activities that can influence student confidence in decision-making, comprehension of intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors, and achievement of both personal and academic goals. Coaching skills that empower students to take ownership of all aspects of life and articulate their own vision for success will be explored.

- Understanding of theory relevant to academic advising
