Hone Advising Skills by Exploring the Critical Issues Affecting the Field
Today's academic advisors are challenged to meet the expectations of multiple stakeholders including students, parents, faculty members, and administrators, all while navigating an increasingly complex range of issues fostered by a diverse and complex student population.
Beyond Foundations: Developing as a Master Academic Advisor offers professionals in the field a resource that synthesizes the most recent knowledge and attitudes about the rapidly changing world of higher education. The authors help advisors identify, confront, and resolve the current and impending challenges facing the field. In addition, this vital resource is filled with case studies that shed light on the many roles advisors must play in order to be successful. Beyond Foundations provides the opportunity for master advisors to discover a conceptual framework that is needed to help students achieve their educational goals and to advance the field.
Beyond Foundations contains the rationale and direction for moving practitioners beyond the fundamental roles of academic advisors to become campus advocates, leaders, researchers, and scholars within the field. When master advisors contribute well-conceived statements and explanations about the advising practice, strategies, and concepts, the profession gains recognition for advisor contributions to higher education and student success.
Praise for Beyond Foundations
"Educators seeking a better understanding of developments in the field of academic advising and its future potential need look no further than this important work. Indeed it should be required reading for both 'master advisors' and anyone in higher education aspiring to make a significant and lasting impact on student success."
--Nancy King, NACADA Past President, Professor Emeritus of English, and Vice President Emeritus for Division of Student Success and Enrollment Services, Kennesaw State University
"Finally, we have a major work illuminating the critical intersection of academic advising and college student success. Beyond Foundations will empower and support the work of our most experienced, successful, and long-serving practitioners and leaders--master advisors."
--John N. Gardner, president, John N. Gardner Institute for Excellence in Undergraduate Education
