Advising Black Male Students in 2020 and Beyond \u2013 NACADA <\/strong>In the September 2020 edition of Academic Advising Today,\u00a0six Black male NACADA leaders began\u00a0the dialogue \u201cfor improving and strengthening the Black male student academic advising experience.\u201d Having \u201cexperienced microaggressions, subtle and overt racism, and prejudgment\u201d in their own personal and professional lives, they consider how academic advisors and advising administrators \u201ccan work together to improve the overall experience for Black male students.\u201d<\/p>\n In this webinar, sponsored by NACADA\u2019s Inclusion and Engagement Committee and moderated by committee Chair Locksley Knibbs, these scholars come to the virtual environment to take the conversation to a broader and deeper level. They will discuss the variation and complexity of Black male identity and address some of the challenges faced by Black males in higher education settings (such as microaggressions, racial battle fatigue, John Henryism, and imposter syndrome). They will consider what advising professionals can do to facilitate the development of Black male resilience, including cultivating self-efficacy, identifying coping mechanisms, and nurturing hope. In this solution-focused presentation, they will share how these narratives can increase retention and graduation for Black male students.<\/p>\n Academic Advising Core Competencies that will be addressed in this presentation include:<\/p>\n C4 – Academic advising approaches and strategies.
