Advising and the Completion Agenda: Key Voices in Higher Education
Higher education associations and national agencies are promoting President Obama’s goal to increase the number of students who complete degrees, certificates, and other credentials by 2020. These associations and funding agencies are supporting institutions that promote degree completion. These efforts are not restricted to the United States but are part of the international education picture as well. In this 80-minute, September 2014 videocast presentation, led by NACADA Associate Director Jennifer Joslin, panelists Andrew Koch (John N. Gardner Institute for Excellence in Undergraduate Education), Dominique Raymond (Complete College America), and Charlie Nutt (NACADA Executive Director) outline the major issues that are a part of the Completion Agenda, introduce concepts and a vocabulary toward building a “Completion Agenda literacy,” and discuss how these issues relate to academic advising.

Dialoguing with New Students and their Parents at the College Level
How can academic advisors relate with new traditional-aged students and their parents who come to campus? Advising personnel at the University of Oklahoma’s University College decided to utilize interactions with parents not only to develop appropriate involvement at the collegiate level but to acknowledge parental importance in the lives of their students. Changes in approach resulted in a positive difference in the overall contact after student entry into the institution. In this 70-minute, 2009 slidecast presentation, Brian Nossaman discusses effective techniques used to teach the new college parent and student about their changing roles. By setting the stage of education, vocabulary and dialogue, both parents and students can make the successful transition within the appropriate boundaries.
