We will have some breakfast snacks available and be giving attendees the opportunity to provide ideas and feedback on the next book! While an RSVP is not required, if you know you plan to attend, please complete this quick RSVP, so we can have an idea of attendance numbers.

Everyone is welcome to participate, even if you didn’t read the book or were unable to participate in online discussions!

NACADA Webinar: Incorporating Coaching Conversations into Academic Advising Practice

The ACADAOS Professional Development Committee is currently working on our Spring 2019 calendar, and we hope to get that to you soon. In the meantime, I wanted to share with you an opportunity in February to put on your calendars. We will be viewing and discussing the February NACADA Webinar: Incorporating Coaching Conversations into Academic Advising Practice at 2pm in Hayes Hall 025 on February 6th. All members are welcome, and we would be happy if you would join us for a viewing of the webinar and discussion. If you are planning to attend, we ask that you complete the short registration form, so we can make sure our space is large enough to accommodate attendees: https://osu.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_24tUskZPcijqo3b.

The handouts for the web event can be found at the following link: http://www.nacada.ksu.edu/Events-Programs/Events/Web-Events/Web-Event-Handouts.aspx closer to the event. We ask that you either print or download your own copy before attending as we will not be printing handouts for the viewing and discussion.

Please mark your calendars and let the Professional Development Committee know if you have any questions. Thanks, and hopefully we will see you at the event!

ACADAOS Workshop Series: Brainstorming Presentation Ideas

Tuesday, December 18th, members of ACADAOS met to brainstorm ideas for presentation proposals that could be submitted by advisors who were interested in presenting at various conferences. One of the biggest challenges with writing a proposal is actually coming up with an idea of what to present, so we thought we would share some of the ideas that were discussed (see below). Each participant shared wonderful ideas with the group and are open to presenting with others, which is why their contact information is listed next to the ideas. If you see a topic that interests you and you want to chat or are interested in presenting with the advisor listed, please feel free to reach out to them.

  • Jim Lingo (lingo.30@osu.edu)
    • Impostor syndrome as a young or newer professional
    • Jim is currently reading Peter Hagen’s book “The Power of Story: Narrative Theory in Academic Advising”, and he was interested in  presenting on the concept of narratives of advising
    • Managing larger caseloads, especially in offices of one or two
  • Amanda Crall (crall.25@osu.edu)
    • Establishing programs for graduate students
    • The structure of ACADAOS and the benefits of developing an advising organization on campus
    • Professional development
  • Jenna Russell (russell.1206@osu.edu)
    • Advising students in health majors
    • How to work with a competitive major and serve all populations of these students (those admitted to the program, those who need to find another major, etc.)
    • Preparing health majors for graduate level programs 
  • Caitlin Welsh (welsh.260@osu.edu)
    • Offering co-curricular opportunities (learning communities, etc.) that help students prepare for graduate/professional school
    • Also interested in presenting on working with competitive majors
  • Melissa Basford (basford.18@osu.edu)
    • helping students manage emotional reactions for competitive majors (Caitlin is interested in this too)
    • Panel idea for how to get started in advising
    • Transitioning from student affairs to academic advising
    • How to navigate career goals or adjusting in a higher education environment
    • How to start a recognition program on campus (staff/advisors, students, etc.)
      • Marketing to leadership to create buy-in
  • Stephanie Elliott (elliott.302@osu.edu)
    • Professional Development: identifying and connecting advisors w/PD opportunities on your campus without necessarily being experts on the topic
    • Panel across institutions regarding transitioning community college students to larger institutions
  • Katie Bush-Glenn (bush-glenn.1@osu.edu)
    • Retention
    • Peer mentoring/advising
    • Professional mentoring
  • General ideas if anyone is interested: 
    • Utilizing the Digital Flagship initiative in advising and/or survey (maybe a future topic once we have another year under our belts as a campus?)
    • Currently changing student demographics/personality (attention, reliant on specific forms of technology, need to go back to basics w/technology, etc.)
    • Different support systems established for students and encouraging them to take advantage of offerings (i.e. support from the start, FYE red/yellow/green light)

Moving forward, we will be hosting a second workshop focused on how to write proposals for submission and feedback, so keep an eye out for this offering in spring. Also, if there is a conference that you would like to present at, this is a good time to make note of proposal deadlines. Members of the ACADAOS Professional Development Committee are happy to assist you with the proposal feedback as well.
