All I Need to Know (about Academic Advising) I Learned from… NACADA In “The Power of Story: Narrative Theory in Academic Advising”, Peter Hagan introduces the concept of the bildungsroman, or the story of a person\u2019s education. As advisors are keenly aware, education and learning can happen in many places.<\/p>\n But what do family dinner traditions, Star Wars, professional engagement, Big Bang Theory, Lego, and travel really have to do with advising? In this fast-paced, narrative presentation, seven advisors from a variety of backgrounds and advising situations will employ stories and metaphor to depict aspects of theory, practice, self-reflection, and professional growth in the field of academic advising. Through the stories of these seasoned advisors, attendees will have the opportunity to reflect differently on what they know about themselves and the work they do to support student success. Topics will include roadblocks that advisors experience when they seek to engage theory to inform their practice, connectedness and community on the higher ed campus, professional engagement to avoid career stagnation, advisors as knowers and sources of knowledge, and more.<\/p>\n Academic Advising Core Competencies that will be addressed in this presentation include: Facilitator: Karen Ferrer-Muniz Managing Multiple Generations Supervisors will learn about the five generations in the workplace today, understand what makes them different, recognize the keys to managing and working with multiple generations, realize the importance of values, collaboration and communication of each generation.<\/p>\n
