On Thursday, Nov. 5, the Center for Effective Teaching (CET) will offer a NACADA workshop:
Redefining the Mid-Level: How Can We Retain Academic Advisors?
This workshop will be on campus in BTC 219 from 2 to 3:30 p.m.
In higher education, mid-level practitioners face challenges that affect them both personally and professionally. Some academic advisors seek advancement to the top, while others are happy in their roles as “helping professionals.” In 2016, a study by Marshall, Gardner, Hughes, & Lowery found the industry lost 41.7% of student affairs practitioners with between one to five years and 21.7% left after eight to 10 years. When promotions are unavailable to this group, it can be difficult to find appreciation in their jobs. It’s the discovery of alternative pathways that might best afford mid-level academic advisors the best opportunities to aid in their professional development.
Join us for this webinar, sponsored by NACADA’s Advisor Training and Development Community, that will (1) review research relevant to the topic, (2) discuss career pathways within the niche of academic advising, (3) explore new ways to explore and enrich your own #HorizontalBranding, and (4) begin planning your revised career pathway.
